This week President Bush set up a health savings account. The president gets his health care at no cost and his family has private insurance similar to that offered to all federal employees. Nice options.
A White House spokesman said the president, in setting up the account, wanted to set an example.
What example does the president's action set for the nation's 40+ million uninsured? What options do they have?
That's not a red state/blue state issue. It's coast-to-coast, in all age groups, and, increasingly, in many socioeconomic groups. And these people are looking for leadership at the federal government level. Even from the White House.
