Today, I'm really grateful for work-provided insurance. I have a high deductible plan that I dump money into from each paycheck, so I pay the out-of-pocket cost for most things, but frankly, it's lovely to have tax-free money I can use for medical expenses. I had to go to the doctor today and for approximately 15 minutes of actual doctor time, I got to pay $281. That doesn't include the cost of medication or the $140 they pulled from my HSA just to book the appointment, but whatever. At least I wasn't sad about it. Except in theory because of the ridiculousness of the medical system and the fact that I think doctors are horrendously overpaid. I digress... I'm grateful for health insurance and for savings accounts.
