Consider what's happened in Massachusetts since its 2006 health care reform went into effect. More people in the Bay State have health insurance--and costs keep on rising. RAND recently found that health care spending is growing 8 percent faster in Massachusetts than the state's GDP. To deal with this situation, the state government has had to trim coverage and raise taxes. Even the New York Times editorial board has admitted that Massachusetts hasn't figured out "how to slow the relentless rise in medical costs and private insurance premiums."
Is this the same Massachusetts they were telling us was so "successful"?
