HSA's (insurance) on the way out???
 

I just got the word that Blue Shield is jacking-up the premium on the HSA offered via by business by more than 60%. Our conventional HMO and PPO plans are "only" going up by single or low double-digits, 3% and 11% IIRC. Our broker said that she is seeing the same trend universally across her clients.

I know the gub'mint is trying to actively kill-off anything that resembles a tax-advantage and the insurance companies are trying to figure out how to remain profitable under 0bamacare. But this seems really out of line and encourages overuse and wasteful spending (HMO/PPO) vs. personal accountability and savings (HSA).

Anybody have other insight into what is going on here?
