Considering the average family cost for insurance is $22.5k

It is quite feasible that redirecting all of that to a tax-free savings account could pay for itself in no time.

That much? Makes the $2600/yr that I pay sound good. I have a high deductible though ($3K). I don't know if putting $23K aside each year and not having any insurance would work for everyone... I think we should just give that money to the gov't and they should cover pretty much everything. With a pool that big I think the economics would work.
