I stayed at a hotel in the City of Lebanon last night so I would be ready for our Finance Committee hearing this morning. I got up and ran 6 miles early. I enjoy running when I stay somewhere, it’s a unique way to see an area. The hearing was interesting. The subject matter was two bills, sponsored by Senator Mike Folmer, which would give tax credits to small employers who contributed to an employees Health Savings Account (HSA). All of the testifiers were in favor of the bills except one person from a Harrisburg organization that thinks that we should pump a lot of public dollars into the existing health insurance system. She wants the state government to subsidize premium payments without any regard to fixing any of the system’s problems. This is the last thing we should do. Some people like big government spending programs, I don’t.
