ObamaCare: Hit#8 Massachusetts government health care another 10% increase in costs

An article that is getting no coverage today, shows the devastating affect of government run health care. Technically, like today's Baucus plan, everyone has "private" insurance. We know it is not really "private", just like we know the Baucus plan is not really private also.

On the front page of today's Boston Globe:
