Consider a high deductible plan with an HSA, especially if your employer contributes to the HSA and you don’t have any underlying conditions (or dependents with them) which make it more likely for you to hit the deductible.

You can use the HSA funds later when you or your dependents need health care even if you’ve switched to a low deductible plan.

So what exactly was gained?

At the very least, we’re talking about what was said and that it happened. The message got to a wider audience than it would have if the statements were just inserted into the record.

I always turn these around and ask given the study size, what is the confidence interval of the number of autism diagnoses attributable to Tylenol?

They’re from Charles T. Munger, a billionaire who lives in Palo Alto who champions Republican causes. It’s almost always a billionaire, not rejected representatives.

He’s not exactly uninvolved in this case. The governor of California is an ex-officio member of the board of regents, and he did appoint 10 of the current regents.

But that said, we can do better than Newsom. His primary goal is to be elected to higher office no matter what he has to say or do.
