The Massachusetts debacle, coming soon to your neighborhood Praise Mitt Romney. Three years ago, the former Massachusetts Governor had the inadvertent good sense to create the "universal" health-care program that the White House and Congress now want to inflict on the entire country. It is proving to be instructive, as Mr. Romney's foresight previews what President Obama, Max Baucus, Ted Kennedy and Pete Stark are cooking up for everyone else. In Massachusetts's latest crisis, Governor Deval Patrick and his Democratic colleagues are starting to move down the path that government health plans always follow when spending collides with reality -- i.e., price controls. As costs continue to rise, the inevitable results are coverage restrictions and waiting periods. It was only a matter of time. |

#1 See similar article but from Bloomberg, the Federal Governments own implementation of National Health Care at http://tinyurl.com/csf7wg. House Health Plan to Include Government-Run Option (Update2) They are ignoring the lessons learned in Massachusetts and the catastrophic effect this will have on the State's budget in the end. The same will eventually happen on the Federal side in time. |
