Singapore's Health Savings Accounts Model Intrigues Swiss Media: Socialists Bark!

The Courrier du Medecin Vaudois a Swiss medical journal, published a special feature this month on Health Savings Accounts (HSA's) including articles from Guillaume Vuillemey, Georges Lane and Alphonse Crespo. Proposals to look at Singapore's Medisave success story and bring back common sense and patient empowerment to cure Switzerland's declining health care system were relayed by journals such as Le Temps and the Swiss Radio Journal. They were met with howls from socialists allergic to individual responsibility and hooked on "solidarity" (i.e more state bureaucracy & rationing of care at the lowest common denominator).
