Health Savings Accounts: Bamboozlepalooza 2006

There's an excellent item up today on Bush's next great plan to help out America. Health Savings Accounts.

I suggest that we preempt this latest bamboozlepalooza tour by calling them what they really are: Health Segregation Accounts.

After all, that's what will happen. The sick and old will be segregated from the young and healthy. The latter will consider themselves lucky that they don't have to be pooled together with those sick people. Until they themselves become sick. Then they will come crawling back to Uncle Sam demanding that he do something to help them out.

And who profits from all this?
