My personal opinion is that our current system should be scrapped. Administrative fees are out of control, Gov regulation is out of control. I estimate that 25% of your healthcare dollar actually goes to the doctors. the rest is consumed in administrative BS.

I think HSA’s and a direct Patient Doctor relationship would cut down on waste. back that up with Catastrophic insurance to be used in the event of a true need.

I agree that HSAs especially when started early are a great idea. I would not scrap the idea that companies can provide heath insurance. I would put HSAs and personal insurance on the same level. Bush had some very good ideas about health care reform with HSAs, tort reform, tax deduction reform, and insurance deregulation. SHE and the other rats are trying to find a scapegoat as a lever to power. The RATS are the scapegoat.
