How To Think About Health Care Reform

• Fixing healthcare begins with changing the incentives and empowering consumers to seek value with their money, while increasing competition among providers
• Making health savings accounts (HSAs) universal would improve choice, quality, and value.
• The goal for improving coverage should begin with expanding private health insurance, not more government-run health insurance
