A new study from Georgetown University offers a three-part strategy for cutting health insurance costs — a worthwhile goal if there ever was one.
Remarkably, the plan would effectively eliminate one of the most powerful tools for constraining health spending and saving patients money — health savings accounts, or HSAs.
That’s backward. HSAs give patients more control over their healthcare dollars and expose our health sector to the market forces it sorely needs. Policymakers should be putting them within reach of more of the public — not plotting their demise.
