A "decisive shift to medical savings accounts"? Is Newt on acid. I don't find that anywhere in the bill.

I find "experiments" in 6 cities to give options to Medicare starting in 2010. That's all I see and even that has the Dems crapping in their Depends.

I hate this bill. I hate all of it. It's just more of an injection of big government and socialism into our lives. As Hillary knew in 1993 and 1994, if the government gets control of healthcare (after the media and the airwaves and the press...free press my butt) they can totally control our lives all the way down to what we eat and how much we excercise.

Fortunately, they'll screw up and ban beer and then there wouldn't be a gun law on the books to stop the revolution. ;-)

There are also reforms that create choices in Medicare plans including managed care, preferred provider organizations, and fee for service.

the new Medicare bill includes a decisive shift to health savings accounts, which will allow every American to accumulate tax-free health dollars. HSAs allow account-owners to build savings and earn tax-free interest on their HSA contributions. HSA account owners can use their savings for tax-free spending on qualified health expenses, including health insurance premiums and deductibles, prescription drugs, and long-term care services including long-term care insurance.
