Massachusetts mandated (under a Republican governor) health insurance basically for everyone. This was done just a few years ago and is considered a model for the current reform plans in Congress. It would be a wise idea to wait and see what happens in the next couple of years to the state plan - if nothing else we can improve the proposals.
As I expected, the Massachusetts plan is not so great is being revamped. It was not working so well and did little to control costs. The current plan appears to actually do little to control costs and will greatly exceed (50% or more) over the first 10 years even the pessimistic projections of the Congressional Budget Office that Schumer and others are scoffing at.
