if you have enough money to put in your hsa and you have few enough medical bills that your hsa will cover, it'sca a great thing. a lot ofof people have them and like them. there are some difficulties with them. if you have an issue you can negotiate. you can use get a a discount if you want to pay cash and you don't have to go through an insurance company but it's hard to know how much things cost. that's one of the things the trumpet versace working on debts by person, or transparency in prices of health care. even if you're if you spend yoy it's come sometimes you call and ask with social cost and a provider not be able to tell you. theyer are not line. they literally don't know until bills get process. there are still issues with hsas. >> host: the kaiser family foundation did a poll how single payer health care. except for of it, save it figure 1%, opposing at 42%. also in july they bring a single health care plan amongst democrats a cut 70% of support independents 55%, republicans 15%. what is meant by single-payer and what do these numbers suggest? >> guest: one of the things

one of the ways to keep it low is hsa, i'm going through a medical situation now where i'm paying my local hospital cash and getting a serious discount so it also gives us more control. but i want to mention that medicare for all is not about health insurance, it's about control. once the government has control, complete control over your healthcare, you're no longer a democracy, where a communist country and what bernie wants to do is eliminate all options and choices and throw everything we have to do in our life and no one in their right mind would handover the health of their family to the government it would be insane. thank you and i'll hang up for your comments . >> hsa's are something the republicans have pushedpretty hard in health savings accounts . it's a triple threat, it's a savings vehicle and you don't pay taxes going in, you don't pay taxes coming out on what it earns. but you spend it on healthcare and if you have enough money to fund your hsa and you have few enough medical bills that your hsa will cover it, it's a great thing and a lot of people eo have them and a

we need to partner with hsa around in-home support services and aging and adult services and dph with their medical services and their various levels of treatment and the options they have. then we create a better city response. to that end, our board and aided entry effort is helping to identify that. we recently reviewed our coordinated entry with dph and they were saying yes, the people we are prioritizing are the people they would prioritize. that validates our assessment tool. the people who may need more care in an emergency setting may also need more care when they go to housing. these are people we may need to work with beyond our department. i am not surprised that when somebody has issues tied to their life, but if homeless is one of them, to assume our department will take on their issues, that is not the reality. as you state, we need to make sure as a city and county we are i think you for the question. it is important that we continue to struggle with those cases. i do want to say when those cases come up on a case-by-case basis, that is how we often develop ongoing a be

so in june 2019 hsa launched a pilot program called dig and taken into different groups and it would be nationwide. and that aims to lower the cost of pharmaceuticals. in marketing the products and with that implantation groups and then to lower the cost to prescribe new and innovative drugs. the trade war also there and those efforts so that list unveiled by the chinese government to import goods with medical devices the leading chinese economy and with that countermeasure of a trade measure. and also that regulatory burden and despite china's efforts in that regulatory system always has a significant burden and with those small start up companies with limited investment capital and with entirely new applications for their products. it is also difficult to get their products included companies complained with too many government agencies to go across the country to participate. and with that procurement system actually continues on a regulatory burden. for the sake of time with policy recommendations, look at the us companies engaged in china healthcare market that until recently th

>> you know, the hsas, when hsas came into being, they were coupled with high deductible health plans and there was a reason why that dollar amount was set at $3,500. that was considered a high deductible health plan. deductibles today are on average, $6,000, $7,000 i heard recently $14,000. >> devastating for people without medicaid. >> without question. and for those that don't have $1,000 in their savings accounts, it is an unreachable number. >> unbelievable what people have to put up with. i've heard stories of health care problems that i wouldn't have believed ten years ago were possible. it still amazes me and i was not around here when the affordable care act was passed, or the unaffordable care act. it amazes me how people get elected to congress and think they're so smart that they can take over such a big segment of the american economy and make it better. let's look at why those costs have gone up so dramatically. first of all, how many americans are on the affordable care act? despite all the hoopla over it? >> just over 8 million. >> i think it is 11 million? >> on the e

people with pre-existing conditions, potentially the sale of insurance across state lines expanding hsa'sto promote free market alternatives because you're out there facing up against democrats saying guess what your private insurance and your choice, we're going to remove that a lot of democrats. there are a few here and there that want a choice in the system like what's his name, the moderate? pete: they say they want to. griff: but in contrast you're talking about it you mentioned the keywords there, "free market ", which is with the white house, will be intended to bring the costs down, we learned from associated press report last week that nine out of 10 americans are covered. they have insurance. they just are paying too much, but yet on that debate stage it was dominated by the warren and sanders who said what we're going to do is takeaway your private insurance and give you a government entirely planned versus -- pete: you can run against that for re-election and then also talk about how it's really competition that leads to cost containment, stay tuned for the white house releasi

transition, they are using the short-term plants, but more importantly, most importantly, is, we are hsa's and addressing personal accounts and people can use them own money rather than having the government paid directly into insurance company coffers, allow us to purchase our own insurance for ourselves and that would be a big boon to the rural community. i would also add the use of telemedicine and advances we big had, that has been a help for very remote rural areas. >> out of insurance, it is how we deliver medical care. people drive 100 miles now. as a state, we have done a great job over 50 years putting up ticket fences for licensing and those types of issues, and now in the last several years, we have done a pretty good job of reducing those picket fences so things like telemedicine and those options can be brought into rural america, but those -- ofdependent obama care obamacare and any of those things. i would say we did not have a life -- a lot of choice before. we have a state of 750 thousand people, the markets adjusted but we have seen insurers flee our market. to say we hav
