no problem!
You mentioned he was a 'struggling waiter' so I assume that means he's an actor. I'm pretty sure entertainment is one of the applicable fields. As in, I know it is in New York, so I imagine it's the same deal in California.

So an otherwise healthy 20-something guy would probably be fine with a high-deductible plan. You guys can take a look, though, to see what you think.
Hopefully he gets the right work to get SAG benefits, though!
