...farming areas suffering from drought this year, the government will have a tough time meeting its economic-growth targets. In an August report, Goldman Sachs predicted that this year's weak rains could cause agriculture to contract 2% this fiscal year, making the government's 7% GDP-growth target look "a bit rich." Even Thakare, with his pond, may not have enough water to plant his extra crops this year.

...could not tell you very much about an HSA or an HMO. In the process of researching this article, I had to look up the meaning of “community rating” and “guaranteed carry,” which are apparently incredibly important aspects of the reforms currently being considered. I have not read a single word of any of the bills or proposals being considered—and I would not be too surprised if you hadn’t either...
