Maybe the solution is for the government to get out of the way and let the free market do its' thing?

How are they doing the things listed in the above quote. I'm seeing stipulated results but no methods. (I didn't read the whole article.) Regardless, it says that HDHP's eligible for HSA's are helping people. That doesn't solve the work full time have insurance point mentioned here. You need to work full time to have an HSA, do you not?

I don't think you can go to a doctor anymore and say, "bill me later," when you don't have insurance. They expect payment. Poor people don't always have credit cards, I suppose they could bounce a check but they probably can't afford the fees associated with it.

I don't know.

You don't have to have a job, but you do need to be covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). There is a pretty good faq here.
