Health Savings Accounts.. Newt says they are Grrrrrrreat!!

[SoCalDem]

I was watching the repeat of his yammering from yesterday.. The one thing that everyone forgets when they talk about the HSA is THIS..

Say you are a 24 yr old, who is barely making enough to pay the college loans, the rent, a car payment and buy food.. Where does this "extra" money come from to put into that HSA..???

What happens if you have $1,000.00 in your HSA , and you get a $20,000.00 illness?? Huh, Newtie???

or What happens when , since you are young and healthy, you decide that using the HSA money for a downpayment on a home is the thing to do...and a month later you are injured or become ill?? Do you just lay down and die?? or do you go to a county hospital and have the taxpayers pick up the bill??

These smarmy republicans are something else..:(

1. you just don't get it

welfare through handouts to the poor is just evil, in an ayn randian objectivist way.

welfare through tax loopholes for the upper middle class and modestly rich is a blessing, it's in the bible somewhere. do christians have a word for 'mitzvah'?

that everything is the trial lawyers fault, too?

I almost kicked in my television set.
