Do you have a cite? I ask because I believe the growth of health care costs in MA over the last year has been lower than in other comparable states.
I believe the consensus amongst health care economists is that MA made the right choice in pushing for universality first and tackling cost growth later. And that's exactly what they're doing: MA has now started some very aggressive cost control plans, plans that are much easier to enact because of the regulated exchange and mandates that MA created.
