title: Combining mandatory health insurance and medical savings accounts.
abstract: The American tradition of freedom of choice is mirrored exceptionally well in the health care industry. The consequences of this system are the highest health care costs in the world and 38.7 million uninsured. Implementation of mandatory, high-deductible health insurance in conjunction with a medical savings account for every resident could have several benefits, and it may engender bipartisan support.
