Widely reported throughout the MSM?
I don’t think so.
Wait a minute.
I definitely remember one of Mass’ most prominent citizens, T boy Kennedy recently fell ill and had GREAT coverage.
Oh, that’s right he went to other states for certain specialists.
Not to worry, the common folks can just ‘shut up’ and follow the lead of the (so called) elitists so long as they realize ‘it is for the common good’.
It is hard to ‘feel sorry’ for those foolz but they keep reelecting the same old, worn out, dead beat pols year after year.
The ONLY message BO has that makes sense is ‘change’ and the first ‘change’ should be him and that butt head running mate of his being sent home....
One ‘change’ the citizenry SHOULD DEMAND, is if you are running for higher office, at least have the decency to resign the position you were elected to.
The people who are most against TERM LIMITS (other than the pols themselves) should sit down and think of the handfull of pols that REALLY P... YOU OFF for their actions/antics and remember with REAL TERM LIMITS, everyone would be gone in a set time.
If only the doctors weren't allowed to leave, or go out of practice, it would. And if not enough doctors live in the state, then some should be forced to move in. If they have to be kept in cells to stop them running away, then that's what Massachusetts will have to do.
And the Underground Railway will run North-to-South next time.
But on the bright side, this may also lengthen the survival of Medicare, which is going broke, because many of the elderly will die waiting for medical care. This happens in every country with socialized medicine.
This is a classic case of “be careful what you wish for” because the AARP has been pushing for government health care since its inception.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
with care the scarcest in some rural areas.
Then move to the city...there fixed. /sarc
Short of the military, gubmint anything doesn't work. Wherever there is a mess to be found there is a near 100% chance that gubmint plays some role in screwing it up.....
Massachusetts is expecting 3.5 billion from the Feds to fund Romneycare. A lot of this money will go to Democrat consultants, hacks, children and relatives of Democrats in the bureaucracy. Some will go to union workers, concrete contractors and if any is left, Doctors and patients.
Suckers. Anyways, as this blows up it will continue to metastasize on Mitt's mile wide, paper thin reputation.
The most vivid reason that Sarah Palin is the vice presidential nominee!
(Romney had it wrong.)
Predatory practices by insurance companies screwed up the medial industry as they sucked the profits and life out of it. Government steps in to mandate things, so doctors no longer find they can make a living and they leave. The next step is HillaryCare, which wanted the government to decide who gets to even go to medical school and then select who goes. Her plan was the communist Soviet Union plan whereby the government tells people what they will do for a living and what they cannot do for a living.
Government is the problem as they demanded healthcare plans by employers, which lead to high prices and low services.
