Answer: According to Michael Lujan by e-mail today, “Covered California will offer HSA-compliant high-deductible plans in both individual and SHOP product portfolios”. It was less than 2 weeks ago that another Covered California spokesperson was quoted as saying there would no HSA qualified plan in the individual exchange, so I hope this is for real.
Sounds like great news for we HSA/HDHP fans…except that Michael Luhan resigned from Covered California last week.
