The Massachusetts treasurer said Tuesday that Congress will threaten to wipe out the American economy within four years if it adopts a health-care overhaul modeled after the Bay States.
Treasurer Timothy P. Cahill a former Democrat running as an independent for governor said the local plan enacted in 2006 has succeeded only because of huge subsidies and favorable regulatory changes from the federal government.
.....................................................
He also gave reporters a copy of a recent state ledger sheet, showing the states Medicaid program ballooning from $7.5 billion to a projected $9.2 billion since the plan was adopted. Meanwhile, of the 407,000 newly insured, only 32 percent paid for private insurance wholly by themselves.
The remainder have received partial or total taxpayer subsidies to buy the insurance coverage required by the plan.

ObamaCare = RomneyCare imposed on the US. Sort of ironic a former Democratic is more a fiscal hawk than Romney. Exit question: Does the book claiming to be authored by Romney mention RomneyCare?

Yes - Cahill has been against this abortion for years. The only candidate for governor to call MA/RomneyCare for what it is.

Where is RINO coward Romney
as the Dems push through ObamaCARE?
Answer: The RINO coward is hiding, sending out his saboteurs
against Gov. Palin and all GOP stars again, and selling his ghostwritten book.

Mass.-type (Romney) health care could wipe out economy, state Treasurer Timothy Cahill says Isn't that the goal? Fix it so it takes a long long time if ever to recover. The democrats destroyed the housing industry, why not everything else?

Tenncare is doing the same to Tennessee, and they are now gut & cutting it, to save it.
Neil Cavuto said Rush gave out the numbers for congress to his listeners and now the phone lines are overloaded.
The numbers are also listed on Rush’s page.
Here is one of the ones he gave out on the radio that I’m calling. So far it’s been busy but I’m going to burn it up till I get to tell my congress critter to vote NO!
