Dwight Grotberg on Health Care

Supports health savings account and healthcare competition

Q: The President has suggested we solve the problem of rising healthcare costs by using things like health savings account to put the individual back in charge of managing and paying for health care rather than the government or insurance companies. Your view?

A: I moved to a health savings account. It's a lot cheaper but the deductibles are huge. Work needs to be done to make this industry more competitive and reduce the fact that North Dakota is number one in the nation for 2-income families.
