> Massachusetts had Obamacare (RomneyCare) years before the federal law existed (it acted as a model for the federal plan).

And we (in Massachusetts) are still trying to figure out how to pay for it.

Massachusetts already had an incredibly low uninsured rate to begin with, which helped, but even then, the costs have been unsustainable. In each of the last three governor's races, the major issue on both candidate's platforms were their respective promises to find a way to pay for it all.

Most recently, MA elected Charlie Baker, a former health insurance executive who has promised to find a way to make the program sustainable.
