Comment: Proud of their budget-busting, not satisfied with Romneycare’s Rocketing Rates, is it Mission Accomplished in the Gruber-land of Massachusetts yet? No, wait, there’s more! Undaunted by their Obamacare exchange cluster bomb, not chastened by Obamacare’s Boston Medicaid Expansion Massacre, Gruber’s colleagues never sleep in their quest for less-affordable health care…
(Notice this Gruberite’s vexation at health care approaching half of Massachusetts’ budget, but she seems a great deal less concerned about her state’s citizens, who have to pay higher premiums and higher taxes, both. It’s classic Gruber.)
“L’Italien, a member of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Healthcare Financing, said switching to some form of a single-payer system will curb the state’s skyrocketing health care spending and free up money for other areas of the state budget.”
“”We have the highest premiums in the country, health care costs are approaching half of our state budget outlay, and that’s crowding out funding that could be going toward education, local aid and other areas,” said L’Italien, who as a House lawmaker helped pass the state’s landmark health care law in 2006.”
Ahhh, ain’t socialized health care grand?
