Fellow PwCers. Are you on a firm health care plan, vision, dental, or legal plan. If for so, has it been valuable?

If for so?

The best deal is the HDP with PwC contributions to your HSA. I was lucky and haven’t had many medical expenses the last few years so have been able to stash away a few thousand that will be able to cover any out of pocket costs that come up. That’s the route I’d recommend if your health conditions will allow it.

If you have a monthly prescription, you're paying 5k annually then ^

PwC 3 you don't seem to understand how insurance works. You should be paying the 5k out of pocket. Insurance is for low probability, high severity type events.

You don’t seem to understand that nothing is covered by insurance unless you meet your deductible ^

So if you have a prescription, you’re paying up to 5k per year for it. ^

As you should

Yes. Think about it. We have a tax system that allows employers to offer health care where the cost is excludable from income. So, health 'insurance ' has turned into a massive package to pay for anything health related since it is subsidized by tax dollars. And the cost has ballooned to a point where you and many others complain about it. Everyone agrees on this but no one wants to change it. Your asthma meds would only be $2,500 if you didn't have to get them through your 'health insurance ' plan.

Start by telling everyone to eliminate the tax exclusion on employer provided health care

I just received an offer on a job I would really like to accept. The salary offer is about 25% higher than my current salary, which I am happy about, but is also the low $ on the range I had expressed to the recruiter and the exact $ that I put on the online application (I had to put a $ figure). Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??
