If the Massachusetts Health Care Law (passed in 2006) was so wonderful, why is it that no other state followed their example? Everything was worked out so they had the MA template. But there were no takers.

Several years later, the federal government comes along and says, in effect, "if no one likes it, we will force it on everyone". Isn't that what it boils down to?
