Via Rodger Schlong we find that proponents and supporters of Massachusetts’ mandated “Everyone gets Health Insurance” program did exactly what everyone who supports any kind of universal health care coverage plan does.
They lied.
Massachusetts Health Insurance Plan Will Cost $151M More Than Expected, Opinion Piece Says
Officials of Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s (R) administration are “now telling Wall Street that they expect” the state’s new law requiring all residents to obtain health insurance by July 1, 2007, “to be quite expensive,” even though “supporters promised that health insurance could be provided with only a slight increase in expenditures,”
Usually they just lie to themselves, and that is OK by me. This is America, after all.
But whent hey lie to the people, in this case the People of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, that is when I have to speak up.
I don’t like Romney, and this is just one of the reasons.
