Hello all. It’s been well over a month since I last blogged. A lot has happened that is preventing me from pontificating as much as I would like. First, I moved from Kansas City, Missouri to Cherry Hill, New Jersey, a suburb of Philadelphia. My doctorpricing.com partners (William Short , Craig Clayton) and I were hired by Bill Good to run the day-to-day operations of his fast-growing TPA, AmeriFlex. I’ve always had a passion for consumer-driven health care, now I’ve quit my job as a bond trader and injected myself into the movement by working at a company that manages the payments of people with Flexible Spending Arrangements (FSA), Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA), Health Savings Accounts (HSA), and a number of other tax-benefited accounts.
My friend William Short has recently written a piece on the weakening dollar, the rise of oil prices and the dangers of applying similar government-based remedial actions on such things as health care. As the presidential race continues to chug along, this next election will be a defining moment in our nation’s history vis-a-vis health care. Will we continue our path towards a welfare state, or will we reverse the action of increasing government intervention?
