An interesting poll released by Rasmussen tells us that only 26% of Massachusetts voters and only 37% of Massachusetts liberals say the State's healthcare reform has been a success. The reform (basically universal healthcare) was enact in 2006 by Republican Governor Mitt Romney. Since then, healthcare costs have skyrocketed in Massachusetts, increasing by 42% with average cost 33% higher than the national average. To battle costs they are considering rationing. Meanwhile only 10% in Massachusetts say the enormous increase in costs have resulted in better quality.
Amazingly, Romney was on TV today bashing the Obama plan and touting what he did in Massachusetts to "get everyone insured" stating that his plan was a "free market" socialist healthcare plan. I guess he imagines that Obama has a socialist socialist healthcare plan which is a little bit too much socialism even for Romney. Thank you Republicans.
