As is now being widely reported, the policy centerpiece of the president’s state of the union address next week will be so-called HSAs, Health Savings Accounts. You can find out more about what a ridiculous idea they are here in a post from Ezra Klein, who will be leading up our soon-to-debut Medicare Drug Bill Fiasco blog.
But, policy particulars aside, isn’t the president moving into a bit of a policy headwind on this one?
What’s the slogan? “Bush Health Savings Accounts! Because the Bush Medicare Drug Bill is Working Out So Well!”
Think about it.
