I could only wish it were a true HDMP. Most of those have a high deductible, but once the deductible is met, everything is covered at 100%, not 80%. Plus the premiums are lower, not higher. Plus the company typically kicks in some of the HSA contribution, not requires you to "earn" it back. We have the worst of all possible worlds here: high premiums, high deductibles, *and* lousy limits. It costs a lot more than the 2% we just got, so we're still falling further behind. Give us the lower pay rates and the old medical plan and we'd be *better off.* That's sad.
I'm an "old guy" here at JB and yes, as long we keep moving back two steps for every step forward, I'm going to keep complaining. Someone has to counter the BS the company is slinging. It's not work at the salt mines, but it's far from the position the company is selling.
