Not to be the language police, or hijack the thread, but I have noticed a real degradation in the use of language online the last few months. This kind of botched use of homophones (coarse vs course in this case) is common.
I can't believe that it is suddenly just happening, so I suspect that I have, for one reason or another become more sensitive to this kind of slovenly use of language by otherwise seemingly intelligent and aware people.
OK. Got that off my chest. Have to rec though, cause this exemplifies the classic con approach to policy making - obfuscate and hornswaggle 'em.
As someone who once had one, let me just note here that Health Savings Accounts need to die in a fire. For those of you with no experience in that particular clusterfudge of conservative financial sector skim-enabling hoo-ha, think of it as the equivalent of privatizing Social Security, except Social Security is now your gall bladder. And whatever else you've got.
Bobby Jindal has a plan for reforming health care. Aww, how cute.
Agree with this entirely. We have this administrative boondoggle system at work, where you set pre-tax cash aside for health care use at the beginning of the year. Then as you spend money on health care, you submit documentation to the administering agency and they cut you a check - for your own money. It's quite an amazing display of creating a solution that is almost certainly 100 times more costly in the long run than the original problem - which ostensibly is that spending after tax money on health care is the devils work. In my mind this is a perfect example of administrative bloat causing exponential cost increases to health care.
