Abstract

Why does health insurance cost so much? According to the vice president at the insurance company that pioneered high- deductible health insurance to go with medical savings accounts, a big factor is that insurance companies are being asked to solve social problems. Mr Hartnedy offers a solution to America's healthcare-delivery plight that includes empowerment of individuals and preservation of choice.
