"In an interview with the Globe, Massachusetts State Treasurer Timothy Cahill said that he is strongly against the state Legislature's proposed tax increases and instead favors deeper cuts to Commonwealth Care. The program "was expensive, even in the good times. In tough times ... it just doesn't seem doable," Cahill said. Cahill also suggested that Massachusetts' experience is "a warning for the federal government as it looks to do something similar." He added, "I'm not saying we can't afford any of it, but it certainly doesn't appear that we can afford all of it" (Viser, Boston Globe, 6/24)."
