Reply #43: I worked for a company that allowed you to invest in healthcare savings accounts.

They did not supply the money but would let you put the money in tax free and spend it on health care items that insurance did not cover. I used it all the time, I never tried to see how much money I could accrue in it because you could only use it on health care. I used it for Dr. Visits, Medication, Eye Glasses and Dental work and I used it regularly.

I just can't see the problem here, Whole Foods is offering a better insurance plan to their employees than most people get and they are getting kicked in the nuts simply because they have a $1000 deductible.
