I feel there may be some good workable ideas in the bill, but the fundamental model was based on our mandatory health-care here in Mass. The problem here is masscare, which covers those that cannot or will not buy insurance, is experiencing a $295 million dollar shortfall just for the last quarter. Most of that deficit comes from reduced federal aid. If the fed cannot support 1 state, what happens when 49 more jump on board ??
