With HSAs out of the way, a key obstacle to the left's expansion of the welfare state will be removed.

Damn, I just switched to an HSA. I guess that account will stop growing.

This is socialized medicine, just as we have known was coming. Call it single payer, whatever, it is socialized medicine. It is just taking one additional step in getting there.

The problem with this is that it could actually become law. Obama will sign it into law if given a chance, so we're down to relying on Senate Democrats to block this bill. The pressure on the Blue Dogs is going to be immense.

This is legislation that will destroy any future for our country, and we could be weeks away from it becoming law.

As I understand it now, it will be optional for those who already have coverage, ie they can keep their old policy....a grandfather clause. Hard asses will do that until they see the error of their ways...

Are you in a private plan, ie not an HMO or PPO?
