Massachusetts Politicos- what you'd expect
Real quick thought -- yesterday I watched, quite slack-jawed, as Massachusetts  Gov. Mitt Romney told Fox and Friends that his proposed universal health care for Kennedy enablers was (something like this) ''taking a Democratic party ideal and implementing it using Republican market values.''  Un-freaking believable.  Massachusetts will mandate across the board health care, but the market will ... what?  I'll tell you what.  The market will cause an explosion in health care costs, just like Medicare did.  Duh. And this sumbitch thinks he can win the Republican nomination?  That's strike number 2 in the game of Smart..

You prove my point. It's mandated in Maryland too, and as a consequence mall lawyers swarm like locusts. Jury awards are so outrageous that insurance companies settle out of hand, and I pay $3000 a year for two cars that are driven maybe 10,000 combined miles/year, amd have no tickets or accidents. Whereever no-fault insurance legislation is propossed, the law lobby goes into high gear to stop it because the state's madatory limits make accidents so profitable.

If I hit you from behind, and you go into ache and pain mode, but your lawyer looks, and sees that I only carry collision, and 20,000 liability, he'll say ''get an ice pack.'' If you want, you can take me to court and try to get more, but there won't be any contingency lawyer in your corner (unless my name is Sam Walton), so you have to have a damned good case.

I've seen it argued somewhere that socialising it in Mass is a cunning plan to keep it from being nationalised.

Romney should ask the folks in Tennessee how that whole TennCare thing is working out.

TennCare is working so well that a Democratick gubernador is throttling back the program to keep the state from going bankrupt.
