Jack Strayer: Thinking about the high costs and toll of employer-provided health insurance
In 1992, I began a new career in Washington D.C. as the director of federal affairs for the Council for Affordable Health Insurance (CAHI).
My primary job was to promote Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to members of Congress and the health care industry. In 2003, HSAs were fully enacted allowing individuals and employers to create tax-advantaged savings accounts designed to cover health insurance deductibles. More than 20 million people now have HSAs and they are giving people more control and more choices in their health care coverage.
