In Massachusetts, Higher Health Costs, Longer Waits
Made popular 784 days ago in Opinion
forbes.com — Earlier this month, the landmark Massachusetts health care reform law turned five years old. Democrats were quick to applaud the anniversary, as the Bay State law is the model for the federal health care reform package that passed last year.

The anniversary has proved especially inconvenient for former Massachusetts Governor and probable Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who argued forcefully for his state's reforms. In 2006 he boldly stated, "Every uninsured citizen in Massachusetts will soon have affordable health insurance and the cost of health care will be reduced."

Their is no question that MassCare has failed and that ObamanationCare is failing. If you have any question just look at the waviers Obama is giving out. Those getting waviers are the ones that wanted ObamanationCare in the first place. The rats are jumping from a sinking ship.

The problem with MassCare was it was "republican based". It was and is a giveaway to the health insurance industry without regulations.

Obamacare, as republicans have named it will go down in history as one of his greatest acheivements and it has regulations, rules and limits with oversight from the consumer protection agency.

GO OBAMACARE GO!

By the way did you know republicans modeled their attempt to end Medicare after Obamacare?

Boehner: Republicans Voted To Turn Medicare Into Obamacare
According to Speaker John Boehner, the House Republican budget, which passed on April 15, "transforms Medicare into a plan that's very similar to the President's own healthcare bill."

After acknowledging those similarities, Cornyn said he'd be open to tweaking the health care law in ways that appease both parties without throwing the entire thing out.
