Massachusetts' Health Care "Train Wreck"

The WSJ has an interesting piece on the Massachusetts universal health care law that went into law a couple of years ago.

As events are now unfolding, the Massachusetts plan couldn't be a more damning indictment of ObamaCare. The state's universal health-care prototype is growing more dysfunctional by the day, which is the inevitable result of a health system dominated by politics.

Unsurprisingly, the state now has the highest health care premiums in the U.S., despite that it was supposed to "save money" for Mass. taxpayers. Romney really botched this one - he needs to admit that it was a mistake to sign the law and attempt to get it repealed if he is to have any chance at a serious presidential bid.
