Happy New Year!

Dear Readers,

I wish you all a very Happy and Healthy and Productive New Year!

A number of you have inquired about what you can do to support the effort to convert our health care financing system to a more effective, free market solution.

While there will be more "calls to action" forthcoming in later contributions, here are some things that YOU can do to Stand Up for a new and better system:

1) Send the link to the BLOG to everyone on your contact list, in order to raise awareness of Health Savings Accounts, and the opportunity to obtain one.


2) Speak to your employer and ask if a Health Savings Account option is available to you and your fellow workers. If not, ask, "Why not?", and refer him/her to the BLOG for information on the benefits to him/her.


3) If available to you, pursue obtaining a Health Savings Account for you and your family. (More information on this will be forthcoming, but you may start simply by entering a Google search for HSA.)


4) Contact your Congressman and Senators and tell them that you do not want a socialized health care system in America. Point out that there are already free market solutions available to americans of all income levels (specifically Health Savings Accounts), and a nationalized system will constrain availability, cost more in taxes, and remove individual discretion over who to see and when to be seen, what kind of care is rendered, and what medications are available.


This is how we can start to make a difference one person at a time!

Stand up America, and be counted!
