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.

I haven't read that are heard it reported. When do HSA's go into effect? Who are eligible? The last time the GOP caved on this idea they "limited" HSA's to only about 250,000 a year. What's that? First come, first served?
