This article might as well be completely blanked out, considering its lack of citations, and the lack of anything resembling factual information. Information cited in the HSA article directly contradicts some of the uncited statements in here. SiberioS 17:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

RESULT: Virtually no comment on either talk page, with one supporting comment, in nearly a week. Therefore, I am proceeding with the merge. -- Sfmammamia 19:44, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I am proposing that the article Consumer driven health plan be merged here. Both articles seem to cover the same topic, the "plan" article is basically a stub, and this article appears to be developing a more full discussion around the topic. Any concerns or objections? -- Sfmammamia 19:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Seems like a good idea to me. There's nothing in "plan" that isn't repeated here, and there's a Wikipedia rule somewhere against having articles with similar headings. Nbauman 00:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted quotation.

Unless we have a "pro" quotation, a substantive one, I do not feel it's appropriate to have an "anti" quote. --Rotten 07:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

So go find a "pro" quotation, if you can.
Under WP rules, you can add a quotation, or a response, but you can't just delete something because you don't agree with it.
I think your problem is that most RS and health care experts think that consumer driven health care is a bad idea. So most RS opinion is going to be against it. Nbauman 10:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Nonsense, the quotation is unnecessary. I censored nothing, there is plenty of mention that not everyone is for it. Your problem is that you cannot flog an anti CDHC/HSA agenda, which seems to be on the table as an issue. Your excessive quoting adds unnecessary length to all the articles.--Rotten 10:32, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
I think Bush actually explained it more clearly than Goodman. What does it mean that "consumers occupy the primary decision-making role regarding the health care they receive"? That's buzzword nonsense. Bush says that the free market is better than government control. "The best way to empower citizens is to let them save and spend their health care dollars as they see fit." At least you know what he's talking about. But you can use whatever quote you want. Nbauman 12:12, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Seems perfectly clear to me.--Rotten 15:45, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
