As Maine Goes…
Maine is the Charlie Brown of health care. The state’s legislators have tried for decades to fix its system, but their efforts have always fallen short: health insurance premiums are still among the least affordable in the nation, health care spending per person is among the highest and hospital emergency rooms are among the most crowded. Indeed, many overhauls to the system have done little more than squeeze a balloon — solving one problem while worsening another.
Glad to see this posting nonsense get the comeupance it deserves. As a consumer, I appreciate information. But let the market determine the amount and quality of information consumers get. Instead of the nanny state.
Let’s hope that as Maine goes, the rest of the nation doesn’t go. That means stopping Obama Care.
Maine, along with New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, has made the situation worse in an attempt to redistribute resouces in the individual insurance market.
The problem for the rest of us is that Obama, Pelosi and Reid all see these failed attempts as a model for the rest of the country.
