Q: My company adapted a high
deductible health insurance policy and now I have to pay the full cash
cost of doctors visits that can be $50 or more higher than we paid
under the old health plan and this really adds up fast with our four
children constantly going to the doctor.
A: No, although Golden Rule
Insurance offers a HSA-type insurance that is the lowest cost provider
in many states, you can still use any independent firm to hold your HSA
account. A list of providers, including a no cost bank, are listed at
