“..There was a rush of enrollment right before the individual mandate kicked in, and ultimately over three years the program covered about two-thirds of the state’s uninsured citizens, leaving Massachusetts with a 3% uninsured rate, the lowest in the nation.”

::::::::::::

The FACT that is always left out by the left about the Mass Socialized medicine is that THE FED (U.S. taxpayer) PAYS 50% OF THE COST of their program. Check it out. Without the FED (U.S. taxpayers) subsidizing Mass, it would have been a total failure. Even Romney had to be squeezed to get an admission about this but it is fact.

I recall in one of the pre-2012 election interviews, Chris Wallace (FoxNews) was interviewing Romney. Wallace asked Romney about the Massachusetts healthcare implementation.

Romney responded that it was a rousing success.

Wallace pointed out that the reason it was a success was that the FED paid for the initial costs of implementation.

Romney had no counter response.
