If you are all on the same health plan, then just open 1 for ease of use. Contribution cap for family is the same regardless of 1 or 2 accounts

I know you don't want another USSR, neither do I. I also don't want another Nazi Germany, so stop voting fascists into our government. The closest we have to socialists in Congress are people like Bernie, who's not starting a revolution. Meanwhile almost all of the R's in the Senate are against a bill that would prevent another coup.
