ikol Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 According to the FAQS on the website plasticeyeball linked, the minimum deductible to qualify for an HSA in 2006 was $1050 for an individual and $2100 for a family, so you don't have to choose a plan with a $5000 deductible (though the savings in premiums might make it worth it in the long run).

Atticus Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Did they remove Harry Potter from your library? No. And I would gladly lick gay-Dumbledore's salty old withered wizard balls before I'd willingly witness again what I witnessed this morning Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 How about we quit subsidizing oil and war then there would be a surplus for SM. I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with this. Say what you want about the morality of war, but you can't deny the economic impact of a war. It puts more money into the economy that it takes out, is my guess.

swirlaround Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Insurance companies are not here for you they are here, like every other company, to make a few cronies at the top fat, and make those execs happy. oh and if there is any left over after the board gets through, the share holders get a cut of the dividends you pay in, too.

swirlaround Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 And aren't natural resources, .... natural, don't they belong too all of us? Gas, Oil, Water, ... Yes you should be able to make a profit for doing the labor and getting them to market, but when the resource is controlled from end to end where does fair market come into play? Yes the price of a barrel went up but the big boys all had record profits, off all us, they not only passed on the increased price, they control, but then decided it was OK to jack it up more for greater returns.
