I have been a cheerleader for HSAs for a while now and this Op-Ed by Mitch Daniels, govenor of Indiana, is illustrative of the benefits of an HSA plan put in practice.
Here’s a snippet:
When I was elected governor of Indiana five years ago, I asked that a consumer-directed health insurance option, or Health Savings Account [...]

Obama is set to announce $1.5 billion in aid to underwater homeowners.  Nevada stands to reap a large portion of the money, so why not announce it in Vegas with Harry Reid at your side.  What’s $1.5 billion if it helps get Harry re-elected?
What happened to fiscal responsibility?
When will they end the TARP and why [...]

The climate change consensus is melting away before our eyes.  Even the scientist implicated by the climategate emails is starting to crack.
Meanwhile, one of the scientists at the center of the climategate fiasco has called into question other issues that the climate lobby has claimed are indisputable. Phil Jones, who stepped down as head of [...]

This post from Keith Hennessey is a bit long, but worth reading.  He dissects Obama’s blame game regarding our deficit.  http://keithhennessey.com/2010/02/04/need-future-focus/

A couple of excerpts.
Climate scientists failed to anticipate the absence of warming in the last decade, a point that Kevin Trenberth, head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, privately conceded in one of [...]

You’ve probably heard about the protests in California relating to the tuition hikes at California public universities.  Students were chaining themselves to doors and locking themselves in classrooms to demonstrate their outrage over the tuition hikes.
But are any of those students outraged about the steep rise in insurance premiums they’ll have to pay if ObamaCare passes.  [...]

I can’t help but feel vindicated by the recent ClimateGate emails.  If you haven’t heard about it see here.  I’m not trying to argue that the global warming debate is over.  It won’t die that easily.  But, what comes through in these emails is that many of the leading alarmist scientists were cooking the books [...]

A Pareto improvement is a change that makes at least one person better off without making anyone else worse off.
A Kaldor-Hicks improvement is a change that makes at least one person better off by more than it makes anyone else worse off.  The idea is that you can take some of the gain from the [...]

I thought this was pretty funny.
