@sarahkliff@jrovner@boltyboy@ezraklein Sarah-- see http://www.rand.org/pubs/technical_reports/TR562z4/analysis-of-high-deductible-health-plans.html#spending3 … Rand study found that even with HSAs people used less care. -
@maggiemahar@sarahkliff@jrovner@ezraklein Not sure they had HSAs in 1982! -
@boltyboy@maggiemahar@sarahkliff@ezraklein RAND study came up - a lot - during debate over HSA's (and MSA's before that). -
@boltyboy@maggiemahar@sarahkliff@ezraklein fun health policy act - MSAs first authorized by Congress in HIPAA! -
@jrovner@boltyboy@sarahkliff@ezraklein Julie-MSAs were around long before HIPPA. Introduced in Singapore at.1980. Rand was aware of them.

@sarahkliff@jrovner@boltyboy@maggiemahar@coreymutter@ezraklein What if the HSA were an HRA and didn't roll over? -
@xpostfactoid1
@sarahkliff@jrovner@boltyboy@coreymutter@ezraklein If you couldn't roll over HSAs, they wouldn't be so popular.
