Please note, that all plans, both HSA and non-HSA, now have aggregate deductibles.  These are different than your typical embedded deductible.  Simply put, regardless of whether a plan covers just an individual or a family, the FAMILY deductible must be met by a combination of the members within a particular family.  This is different than a traditional embedded deductible in that an individual deductible needed to be met as well as a family deductible.

The advantages of having an aggregate deductible is that premiums with such plans tend to be lower.  This type of deductible is best for families that are expecting low out-of-pocket costs.
