The Daily Background

Oftentimes, I don’t think I blog enough about domestic issues. The other day however, I wrote a bit about healthcare, and how the President is planning to promote a (currently little used) health plan called an HSA (short for Health Savings Account) in his State of the Union address tuesday night. Naturally, a great followup would be writing a post about what exactly HSAs are. Turns out they’re not so good. And there’s plenty of reasons why.

Lucky for my fingers, ThinkProgress has saved me the work, and written just such a post. I’d certainly recommend you skim over it before watching the President’s State of the Union speech tomorrow night. Especially if you are, by chance, going to be watching it with your conservative in-laws who you always end up debating with. Or something.
