Dan Froomkin asks "Is anyone paying attention to the president anymore?"
It seems that Bush is pushing Health Savings Accounts especially hard yesterday and today. Anyone heard that?
Except for Froomkin, I sure hadn't.
Froomkin goes on to point out that supposedly HSA's will squeeze health care prices lower because individuals will be more price conscious.
Yeah, right. More price conscious than the HMO's who tried for two decades to squeeze health care prices by squeezing doctors and restricting patient care? I don't think so.
