“Massachusetts, more than any other state, is having an aggressive dialogue about how to reduce the rate of growth in health care spending,” said John McDonough, director of Harvard’s Center for Public Health Leadership, who helped craft the federal legislation. “The health reform law created such a spotlight on the state’s health care system and right away, everybody – business and insurers – recognized the most destabilizing thing that could happen to undermine reform was if health care costs continued to spiral out of control.”
I keep hearing the supporters of the new health reforms saying that it was modeled after Massachusetts' successful system. But how successful is the Massachusetts system? Costs seems to have been a big issue with their system since it began so how will they get their cost under control in that state? Won't America as a whole experiance similar problems with "Obamacare"?
It was successful for me because I got free healthcare for 2 years. I'm happy to live in a state where our politicians care about us and we care about each other, not just our selfish selves!

"Molded after" is a far cry from the details of each.
Surely, Republicans will insist that it has been a costly, vast failure. But look who they're running for president, who signed for RomneyCare in Massachusetts?
They on average pay the LEAST for their healthcare out of any state. With aging relatives in the area, I can somewhat attest to the system's generosity, for what it's worth.

How is your celebrating that YOU got free healthcare for 2 years not you caring about your selfish self? You seem fixated on what benefit you have received and not whether it had improved healthcare for your fellow citizens. Do you have any concrete facts showing that it has? Or are you just concerned about your experience?

He thought JFK's line was "Ask not what you can do for your country..."..
