As usual, statistics can be spun to say anything you want them to say. I read the entire article but could not find anything to clarify the issue.

Bottom line: The statement is “Massachusetts still has the highest health-insurance costs in the nation, averaging $13,788 for a family”

The question is with the word “still”. I think that means before romneycare, MA had the highest per family cost in the nation and after romneycare, MA STILL had the highest cost.

Further, health costs have risen nationwide in every state.

So romneycare could have lowered costs in MA but not by enough to move MA from 50th to 49th most expensive. And romneycare could have lowered costs so that the increase in MA is less than the increases in other states, but not by enough to move MA from 50th to 49th.

I did read the article and could find no clarifying statements one way or another.

Harry (braindead) Reid told a presser that Obamacare would put a stop to those nasty insurance companies that he called "the biggest business profiteers in the nation".......Reid was echoing Know Nothing Ohaha.

The facts are these----according to a comprehensive Forbes list, health insurers are Number 35 on the list--w/ a 2% profit yield.

Telecoms are the highest profit-making businesses.

Course the Forbes list did not include federal legislators profiting from looting the US Treasury, earmarks, campaign donations, junkets, special interest kickbacks, low interest loans, mortgages, hidden real estate deals......hitting taxpayers with endless expense items, and the like.

There's a saying---once they get into office, they never spend a nickel of their own money, ever again. How did Charles Rangel become a multi-millionaire when he had only one job---as a Congressman?

==================================================

Let's get the facts on profiteering legislators published.........now.

The fraud of Mass "universal health care."

The costs were rising (like flesh-eating ghouls in Night of The Living Dead), and were voraciously eating into the state budget at an alarming rate.

SOLUTION: Mass pulled some 150,000 citizens out of the plan. So much for "universal health care."
