On the "Morning Joe" program this morning, in an exchange between the junior GOP senator from Wisconsin and the chair of the medical ethics department at the U of Pennsylvania, there was heated discussin over how ObamaCare would effect healthcare costs.

The academician observed that the Massachusetts plan (which is ObamaCare without the hundreds of lobbyist-dictated inclusions) provides some evidence. He asserted that since it was enacted, more than 95% of Massachusetts residents are now insured and that premiums have declined by 40%.

I haven't researched this, but I will. Any MA residents out here? If true, this is pretty compelling evidence that their simpler program is working as intended.
