Universal healthcare in Massachusetts, a harbinger of where we areheaded with ObamaKare

"Massachusetts, with what is essentially it’s own ObamaCare program,
has started to ration health insurance. Surely that wasn’t Governor
Patrick’s intent when he rejected the insurance companies’ request for
premium increases. Like all politicians, he just wanted to get re-
elected, and being tough on insurance companies is a very popular
stance among Democrats these days.

Nevertheless, rationing is precisely what the outcome has been. The
insurance companies did what any business does when faced with a money-
losing product: they declined to sell any more of that money-losing
product. As a result you can’t buy health insurance in Massachusetts,
even though it is against the law not to! Ain’t that a catch-22?

The governor thought that by standing up to the greedy insurance
companies he could portray himself as a hero in the fight against the
high cost of health insurance. This is an awfully thin argument,
considering that three of the four largest insurers in Mass are non-
profits, as noted by the Wall Street Journal in a recent article.

Those high costs were imposed by the state on its residents when it
mandated coverage for all, instituted community rating and eliminated
the insurance companies’ ability to refuse coverage to people with
preexisting conditions. I’m sure it came as quite a shock to him that
his savvy political skills had instead of making insurance more
affordable to his constituents made it unobtainable."

The UK NHS is a monster, run by a homicidal maniac.
It seemingly imports half the worlds doctors and nurses
and even more will follow because all three main
parties will not shut the door to Europe
which will march right in for their free treatment.
