If anything, get a high deductible plan on your own. Never know a $100k heart attack may creep up on you.
BTW, health coverage in this country is a joke.

To clarify, do you both have HSAs now or did you both have them in the past or something else perhaps?

The health insurance plan I just let go with my employer was an HSA. They give you $500 as part of that to use towards any expenses.

Open enrollment period came again with our employer and we all got a nice surprise. All the rates in pretty much every tier went up another $100. Since I'm covering myself and my domestic partner,...

You should be fine. If you need prescribtions like antibiotics for serious infections if rarely ever, the lowest prices of the generics are at Costco or Sam's club.

How did you have HSAs with another health insurance plan in place? Or was that other health insurance plan you had in place that you just let go an HSA?
Also, what is "$500 each"?
