Since we probably would have very few expenses associated with pregnancy in 2010, we thought it would be a good idea to stick with the HDHP this year but then switch when open enrollment comes around in 2010. My question was if pregnancy could be deemed a "pre-existing condition" that would make us unable to switch plans next year. The insurance company assured me it did not count as a pre-existing condition. Does anyone else have any experience with this?

Getting HSAs to cover the deductible you do end up paying also implies another 30% savings in terms of tax benefits This is great.
