[blank] Reform = Worst Fucking Idea Ever

No matter what they say, Bushco's only goal is to strangle whatever program they claim to be "reforming". HSA has replaced SSA on the assministration's hit list.

In Ohio, Bush Touts Health Savings Plan

DUBLIN, Ohio, Feb. 15 -- President Bush met Wednesday with employees of a fast-food chain here to promote a centerpiece of the company's and the administration's new health care plans: tax-free health savings accounts, or HSAs, for workers.

As part of a new White House campaign to promote incremental changes to the health care system this year, Bush is calling for new tax incentives to help millions of Americans purchase health care coverage for catastrophic illness and pay for out-of-pocket medical costs.

"Health savings accounts are making health care more affordable," Bush said in a lunchtime speech at Wendy's International Inc.'s headquarters. Critics say the program does little to help the more than 45 million uninsured and those who do not have enough money to divert to savings accounts.

Affordable for whom? Employers who fund workers' benefit programs? Young, healthy people who don't need much health care anyway? Certainly not more affordable for someone unfortunate enough to get sick. Lying bastards never run out of lies.
