It’s technically not true insurance.

Health insurance is not true insurance. It’s like paying for oil changes

We had liberty health share for years and realized they were embezzling money

Liberty cleaned it up. I am not defending what happened at all. I was affected

We did this for a few years and are so glad to be done with it. They are pretty terrible.

Both of those are insurance

CougieMcCougFace

HSA is a savings account. Unless you mean HSA WITH an insurance policy/plan.

rainorsnow

1:26am

Yes - You have to have a high deductible plan with an HSA

CougieMcCougFace

1:28am

The plans my work offers, there is practically no circumstance where the HMO is worth it over the high deductible plan.

Radioactive Coug

Yeah, this is usually the case. The high deductible plans make the most sense

I have calculated hmo vs high deductible and hsa for about every situation

We don’t get a match on HSA.

The average tax burden in Norway is only like 8% more than the US

The average health insurer has 2-4% profit margins.

Insurers 100% do try and screw people over pretty non-stop. I work directly in this field. It’s a total cluster. They’ve
