Last time we checked, benefit mandates made health insurance in Massachusetts too expensive for the coverage mandate to work. The latest news is so many people have signed up for state premium subsidies, the program is $245 million overbudget this year and will likely be $400 million overbudget next year.
What and whom do you blame – the Connector plan (and Romney), the compromises made to get it approved (and the Democrats), or the refusal to allow lower benefit health plans (and the Connector board)?
