Average American
July 31, 2008, 4:49pm (report abuse)I am not familar with the details of this bill. But as an Average American family now facing a healthcare crisis I wish something like this had been in effect allowing us to save for our oldest children's education without interferring with our much younger child's access to life-sustaining healthcare. Standard college savings accounts were viewed as assets making the youngest ineligible for coverage of an uninsurable disease.
I see now that in our family histories, the cycle of poverty across generations has been the consequence of genetic-misfortune in a Darwinic-Malthusian system--Not Ignorance, Not Indolence.
It's time for the pendulum to swing. Free the People with tools that allow them to help themselves, without greedy designs to profit at the public's expense.
