I am living proof. I just got an HSA from Healthia.com and am saving money (tax free I may add) at a lower cost AND I can go to any doctor I want to It is amazing how the evidence is so clear that Health Savings Accounts lower the cost of insurance by alloiw market forces to work, yet opponents refuse to recognize the facts.

How's that for a thought? Pell grants and subsidized school loans have driven the costs of higher education up, not down as well. In 1972 I paid for the birth of my second child myself (the first was government paid as I was in the USAF). Minimum wage was something like $2.35 or so and that is what I was making. My total cost was less than $500 for the doctor and hospital. Today the cost is much, much more because of greed and a bigger pool of money to charge. Do away with health insurance for everybody and see how fast the costs come down. I have seen this cost escalation with our higher education costs. When the government started Pell grants and subsidized loans the schools became more greedy and raised their prices. Health/medical insurance has driven the costs of medical care up, not down.
