I get your point here Jim but I guess my feeling is that it's in peoples' best interest to learn about their health and what choices they can make to improve their well-being. There are also many ways to gauge health nowadays outside of the traditional health care system (read Fantastic Voyage) for more on this. I say "outside" because most health plans won't pay for a lot of the stuff people should be doing to monitor their health because it these are "preventative."
Health care (at least in the U.S.) is broken and we'll see more and more evidence of this in coming years. HSAs seem like a huge step in the right direction because they encourage people to take responsibility for their own health and choices. This definitely requires education and therefore might not be right for everyone. However, for people hanging out on a Personal Development for Smart People forum it might be perfect.
