Inevitability of liberal policies: Massachusetts imposes price controls on health insurance.

This was predicted a long time ago and it has finally arrived.  Looks like the costs of universal coverage is starting to take it's toll as health care costs spiral out of control.   In this piece , we learn of the havoc caused by RomneyCare as insurance premium hikes are being rejected by a bureaucrat!  Insurance Commissioner Joseph Murphy decided that he is much smarter than everyone else and rejected 235 of the 274 proposed increases.  See, what is happening in our little liberal heaven of Massachusetts is a perfect example of what NOT TO DO.  Unfortunately for the rest of the country, Obama/Pelosi/Reid-Care largely modeled after RomneyCare is now law of the land.  Thomas Jefferson once expressed an idea that each state act as a social laboratory for experimentation and from these experiments we could conclude on the best form of governing.  But in 2010, where white is black and up is down, Massachusetts is an example of success - not the blatant failure that it really is.
