Health savings accounts are the cure for what ails health care in Wisconsin, Congressman Mark Green insisted in Friday night's debate.
Au contraire, says One Wisconsin Now.

I have an HSA, and I hate it. Righties want everyone to have one, but don't want to pay the wages to fund them.
Righties want to be paid more for their imagined skill levels.
HSA's are ONE PART of the puzzle.
Another part (exemplified by Covenant Systems) is publishing the prices of procedures--for comparo-shopping.
Another part is installing or keeping VERY tight limits on med-malpractice awards.
Another part (and one which deserves very serious consideration AND a few "hard pushes" from Madison) is requiring hospitals to obtain and implement efficiency/cost-control studies from recognized industrial (NOT HOSPITAL) practitioners.
Another part is teaching people elementary home-medicine stuff--you know, what requires an aspirin and what actually requires a hospital...
UFCW already has an HSA program through Roundy's. Wait until those 10,000 people find out that Doylie made their tax-return-preparation about 2 hours longer by his veto...
