Romney care in MA is going bankrupt. Mixed results at best.
It was a big problem for him in Pres race.

I agree it was a problem but that's because the bill he signed was given a bankruptcy death by a thousand tweaks by the uber-lib MA legislature even before he left office.

While I agree that it was not the best idea, the fact is that if the Dems get their way with socialized care then the only way to return to healthcare with a market basis that covers all is to nix the single-payer system to a multi-choice system where everyone gets a basic set of services among a choice of plans that compete against each other, with options to heighten ones coverage for extra out-of-pocket expense. A state system within a state system.

That will be the only market-based way out if socialized healthcare is enacted.
