A thought about Bush's speech about HSAs at Wendy's HQ - |
|
He pointed out that there were approximately 9000 Wendy's employees who have enrolled in HSAs.
I checked. Wendy's has over 6000 locations worldwide.
That's less than 1.5 per restaurant . . . hmm, how many managers (making the better wages and benefits) are there per restaurant . . . and how many of the rest of the employees (worldwide) can afford to put money away for HSAs, I wonder . . .

That's the way it is with fast-food resturants.
The menu seems reasonable at first glance.

4. In most modern industrial countries HSA are irrelevant |
|
as excellent and universal healthcare is available. So 'worldwide' is pretty much irrelevant. You want the domestic USA employment figures.
But Bush's Out Of Pocket medical plan is a farce. One good illness and your HSA is gone. Then what?
