Massachusetts’ government run health care plan gives voters a look into what might happen if the feds take over American’s private health care system. The poor can’t afford it and prices rise higher than the private market, according to the New York Times.
But the reluctance of so many to enroll, along with the possible exemption of 60,000 residents who cannot afford premiums, has raised questions about whether even a mandate can guarantee truly universal coverage.
Additional concerns have been generated by projections that the state’s insurers plan to raise rates by 10 to 12 percent next year, twice this year’s national average. That would undercut the plan’s secondary goal of slowing the increase in health costs.
Another example of government health care is the Veteran’s Administration.
If our federal government isn’t able to provide quality health care to veterans, what will happen when it is providing health care to millions of regular citizens?
