My neighbor carries HSA insurance but doesn’t participate in the hearings or really care about the day to day operations of HSA. Who will moderate his health care decisions on my behalf?
Remember, we start out with Medicare procedures, rules, fees and other guidelines. Before this plan is implemented, many more procedures may be added, fees determined and guidelines established. Your neighbor will have his opportunity to participate in the hearing process, vote and have his influence and will live with the results. If he doesn’t participate, a significant portion of the 295 million people in the US will do so. There are many concerned citizens, some with health problems, some with financial problems—enough of all people with various concerns to give us a workable plan. If ignorance, poverty or inability to travel are a problem and interfere in participation, others will fill the gap. You will have much more representation in HSA than in any insurance or government assistance that you now have. And it will be access to the same health care that everyone else in this country has.
