Americans of all political parties need to give close attention to health care issues in this election year. Regardless of how they intend to vote, they need to understand that health care is the primary cause of increased government spending.
The essence of John Kerry's attitude toward health care was evident in an interview he gave on February 25th to "Good Morning America." He decided to attack Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), the only redeeming feature of the horrible Medicare Prescription Drug bill that was signed into law a few months ago. He indicated -- with a sneer -- that HSAs showed the Bush Administration only wanted to help "people with money." Senator Kerry said that, if elected, his policy would have the government provide health care to "people with no money."
