The headline of this WSJ article is "The Massachusetts Health-Care Train Wreck" and it is very descriptive of what is happening as the health-care program that President Obama has called "almost identical" to his own unravels. Already, 3 of the 5 biggest non-profit health insurance companies are under financial oversight due to losses, which total $116 million. The politicians response: deny rate increases and "order" them to provide services below cost. Any guesses on how long this will last? They are also contemplating ordering doctors to participate in a state system that regulates what doctors can charge as a condition of getting a medical license in Massachusetts. Any guess where doctors won't stay? Now you see the imperative for national health care - you eliminate places
