We've just been royally screwed by my husband's employer and health insurance co.

11. We were not communicated with adequately

Originally the benefits form said if we didn't choose another option, we would stay on the current plan

Then at the last minute, everyone was told that unless you signed up, you'd have NO coverage in 2014. So my husband signed up.

But nobody explained how the new plan works. Nobody told him about the HSA thing or how to set it up.

Another section of his company just lost a big contract, so this may be why they're screwing the employees on health coverage.

Here's what HR wrote him:

Company X "is only offering the high deductible plans this year. The decision was based on survey data and what is trending in the market."

In other words, they're only out to screw us this way because every other employer and insurance company is out to screw their workers using this high-deductible method.
