The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

Here's a less than encouraging piece on those catastrophic plans:

"Let Them Eat Catastrophic Plans!" Trump & RFK Jr. have a "genius" response to expiring tax credit crisis
acasignups.net - Let them eat catastrophic plans trump rfk jr have genius response expiring tax credit

And another not-so-good: Yes, in 2026 we will be able to have an HSA for the first time, knocking $10,750 off the top line, but this is offset some by losing $7,500 in pre-tax 401k catch up contributions. Catch up contributions now have to be in a Roth.

Our insurer is asking for a 17% increase for 2026. Unsubsidized cost of our Bronze plan (if they offer it) projected at $40,150/year.
