Mass.-type health care could wipe out economy, state Treasurer Timothy Cahill says

The governor here in Massachusetts, if you can call him that, is now proposing health care rationing, and further deep cuts in payments to hospitals. They are seriously hurting right now over the cuts already enacted. We are both healthy. The only time either of us has ever been hospitalized was for childbirth 20 years ago. Our insurance went up 50% last year, 3 years into the lower cost promise. It went up 41% the year before and I just got a 30% rate hike notice. We have to drop it, cant afford it anymore, and we make too much to be eligible for the state insurance, which we would refuse anyway. We don’t do welfare. So, we will have to pay a $2,500.00 fine, and still have no health care. After we “reformed’ health care here, we became the proud owners of the most expensive health insurance in the country, and the fastest rising rates. Be very careful what you wish for, folks.
