Nothing is covered outside of preventative care until you meet deductibles. What's the point 😒

Its not the worst out there. That said, the trend toward high deductible plans are the result of Obamacare. Republican ideas that would greatly reduce costs: insurance portable across state lines, limiting malpractice lawsuits.

For what it's worth, I have cancer and the PwC plan has paid for exactly zero dollars of my chemo, it was deemed an "experimental procedure" so yeah, pwc health insurance can get fucked. I'm out of pocket nearly $9k YTD. On the other spectrum, they paid for all but less than $1.5k of expenses related to the birth of my daughter, so there is that. Lesson here is to have a lot of sex, but don't ever get sick if you work for PwC.

It does suck, but just look at who it’s designed for - young, healthy people who (as a whole) rarely go to the doctor. It’s great if you fit that group since it’s cheap but will generally cover huge unexpected costs and you also get to put some HSA money away for later on. Not so great if you don’t fit that description.

Hi-I have 120K in cash in HYSA. After keeping emergency fund aside. Still have 75-80K available that I plan to invest. After 401k, HSA, IRA and monthly expenses: we are left with 6K every month. So investing 12K every month in market. My worry is with that rate - it will take us 12-14 months to move the extra 75-80K mentioned above. However do not want to make a bulk move. Any advise how to plan the switch. At present have 60K invested in stocks. Thanks
