The Latest Assault on Health Care...

The latest assault on health care

The president, who has emphasized his desire to build an "ownership society," sketched a vision for the nation's health system radically different from today's employer-based, government-supported system.

In Bush's formulation, individuals, not their employers, would pay for health care, thus giving them an incentive to keep spending low. The government would help out with tax breaks allowing people to save money for medical expenses by using tax-free Health Savings Accounts.

Even if you HAVE health care, you are going to lose it. Good luck with that alternative medicine!
