Why?
Because the program, Health Savings Accounts, seriously undermines some major points of their"universal health care" cherished agenda item.
Noteworthy:
"This is health insurance many Americans can afford, and it doesn't force those who have better use for their scarce dollars to buy gold-plated insurance with special-interest mandates (cover the chiropractors!) that Democrats want to force on everyone. HSAs also give consumers more reason to care about prices, bringing much-needed market discipline.
Since HSAs were created in December 2003, 3.2 million HSA accounts have been opened, covering 4.5 million Americans. Nearly a third of new HSA users previously had no insurance and bought coverage on their own. Thirty-three percent are small businesses that had not previously offered coverage to their employees. Isn't this what good progressives claim to want?
Apparently not if it means a free market in health insurance. Having lost the policy argument when HSAs were created, Democrats are now trying to kill them with regulatory subterfuge."
"Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, decry the high and rising costs of health care, including insurance "overhead." Mr. Stark and his friends want to impose the same bureaucratic overhead even on spending that consumers do with their own money."
God forbid we have efficient and well conceived free market based solutions in our health care programs, right?
Did you see the Bunk study stating 2/3 of doctors in America want National Health Care. The doctors who did this study also conducted one in 2002 and found that the majority of doctors did not want national health care, the problem with this is that the 2 question surveys drastically differ in there 2nd question. I found this article, 60% of Physicians Surveyed Oppose Switching to a National Health Care Plan, It's worth a read
