Dave’s Top 10 Sad But True Employee Quotes From Annual Enrollment Meetings

With the leaves falling, it must mean it’s time for my favorite time of the year. I’m sure you’re asking…is it football season…or maybe election season? Nope. It is annual benefits enrollment season. 

After spending 30 years doing enrollment meetings, I’ve heard many stories and questions. Here are Dave’s Top 10 sad but true employee quotes from annual enrollment meetings

10. I once bought life insurance for my wife, and she still died.

9. I lose it at the end of the year? It doesn’t seem like my Flexible Spending Account is very flexible.

8. I have an HSA that has a HDHP that uses a PPO for my PCP and a PBM for my COPD. WTF? Need help PDQ.

7. Is the deductible tax deductible?

6. My doctor’s name is Steve. Do you have anyone named Steve in your plan?

5. Wait! My husband is eligible? I’ll need to keep an eye on him.

4. That em-bed-ded deductible makes me sleepy.

3. No offense, but benefits enrollment meetings are slightly more fun than having a root canal.

2. I’m not sure why they call this a health plan. They don’t pay for my health, and they certainly don’t seem to have a plan.

1. Dave, can you make this easier for me?

I certainly can. Message me if you’re interested in coverage that is clear and adjusts as your needs change.
