What the Reformers Don't Want You to Know
Another voice out of the reality-based community on the "success" of Massachusetts' almost-kinda-sorta universal health care "reform" — this time from the state's treasurer:
Health care reform has not been a Massachusetts miracle. The state’s new health care system has been fraught with problems from the start, from excessive costs to taxpayers to unaffordable insurance options for families...The reform has placed an enormous hardship on middle-class residents who do not qualify for the state-subsidized Commonwealth Care program, as high premiums, deductibles, and bill payments — even for the least expensive plans — have rendered these options unaffordable.
And remember, those hardships on middle-class residents are imposed on them by state mandate.
