| PRESIDENT
BUSH SUPPORTS HSAs |
"Our first policy is to expand health savings accounts to
help improve health care and to help lower costs" said
the President before the American Hospital Association.
"The second policy for making health care more affordable
and accessible is to increase transparency in our health care
system. To be smart consumers, we need to be informed
consumers, and this is especially true for patients with HSAs
who have an incentive to spend their HSA dollars wisely."
