Under the state-run health plan in Massachusetts, emergency room usage has gone up, the costs to the state and to patients has gone up, and many doctors are now refusing new patient that are only covered by the state plan.  In addition, business is booming for brokers that help other firms dump their current plan for the state-run one.  "Keep your current plan"?  Not likely.<\/p>\n

As Bruce McQuain of Q&O notes<\/a>, this epic is coming to a government near you.<\/p>\n

MassCare is almost identical to ObamaCare \u2013 many of the same people who authored it were instrumental in putting the federal monstrosity together.  Reviewing the above 4 items, I\u2019d say they\u2019re 0 for 4 in their promises.  The sad thing is we had this example at a state level there to study and as usual, the media wasn\u2019t able to manage the comparison during the weeks of hype surrounding the bill before its passage.<\/p>\n

This is you life on ObamaCare.  More money, fewer choices, less care.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what happens when the gullible buy into the \u201csomething for nothing\u201d political promises of a pack of charlatans and snake oil salesmen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

None of this should be news, especially if the media had been doing its job, but Democrats will simply, once again, come up with excuses why it won’t happen this<\/em> time, and, when it fails on cue to deliver the promises they made, will convince their blind followers that indeed what we wind up with is "better" than if they’d done nothing.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen this movie before, and it always ends badly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
