Writing in Health Affairs,  John Goodman says there are a number of ways to make HSAs available to more people and to serve more needs. Included:

1. Roth-type HSAs for seniors on Medicare.
2. Roth HSAs for people who buy insurance in the exchanges.
3. Use of HSAs to obtain 24/7 “direct primary care.”
4. HSAs for chronic care.

Why do so many high-income, highly educated people vote for liberal political candidates? Is it because they feel guilty and they are altruistically voting against their own interests? John Goodman says its more likely that these folks are just as self-interested as everybody else.
