The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Although our marketplace family plan premium has absolutely skyrocketed (no subsidy, nearly $2800/month!🙁), at least our Bronze plan is now HSA Eligible. I literally opened up a Fidelity HSA account and funded it $9750 (max family >55yo) from another established Fidelity acct in under 10 min.

I tried to open a Fidelity HSA yesterday. I guess lots of folks had the same idea...mine failed. I'll try again today.

fidelity.com - How much to contribute to hsa

For 2025, the IRS contribution limits for HSAs are $4,300 for individual coverage and $8,550 for family coverage. For 2026, the limits rise to $4,400 and $8,750, respectively. If you're 55 or older and not enrolled in Medicare during either tax year, you may be able to make a catch-up contribution of up to $1,000 per year. Your spouse, if age 55 or older and not enrolled in Medicare, could also make a catch-up contribution, but will need to open their own HSA.

Family coverage (5 of us). Both parents are over 55. So, $8750 for family, catch-up for me $1000, catch-up for spouse $1000 in a separate account.

Can we split it to $5375 in each account? Or does one have to be $9750, the other $1000?

Our marketplace family plan premium is now $3430.40/mo!
