Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests DeLay goes down.

Could he change that to read: massive tax hikes and/or massive benefit cuts AND/OR more movement toward universal health care? Our present medicare/medicaid is penny wise/pound foolish on not paying for prevention now and thus paying for surgeries later. Health savings accounts are not an answer. Generally those who have income enough to use HSAs also had enough income to purchase health coverage already without them. And uninsureds cost us all.

The combined money we now privately and publically spend on health care "should" get us better than we are getting, but we have to get smarter about how we spend that $$. That might be where the savings/efficiencies/solutions lie.

But good luck getting the vested interests and idealogues to compromise their positions enough to allow the rest of us to correct that mess. It will keep getting worse until they do.
