Oh, and Mass has the highest insurance premiums in the country, just saying - and they are increasing at faster than the average in this country.
Oh, and bankruptcies from medical costs actually rose after Romneycare went into effect in 2006.
Oh, and they had to raise taxes to pay for it.
Oh, and health care spending has increased dramatically in that state.
It cost about twice as much as predicted, and they needed $1.5B from the federal government to keep it going.
And studies show that guaranteed issue and no-pre ex is leading to "claim jumpers", which is causing individual (and small group as they are one bunch) rates to grow even faster to compensate.
