Massachusetts State Treasurer says RomneyCare "bankrupting" state, only surviving due to federal aid which Obama admin. may be "funneling" to prop up image of ObamaCare.
March 16, 2010, "Cahill bashes state -- and national -- health care reform law," Boston Globe, Michael Levenson
"(Mass.) State Treasurer Timothy P. Cahill, an independent candidate for governor...offered a wide-ranging and scathing criticism of the state’s universal health care law, saying it is bankrupting Massachusetts and will do the same nationally, if a similar plan is passed in Congress.
"If President Obama and the Democrats repeat the mistake of the health insurance reform here in Massachusetts on a national level, they will threaten to wipe out the American economy within four years,” Cahill said in a press conference in his office....
Cahill, who bolted the Democratic Party in July, has been a long-time critic of the state’s health insurance law. He said he was calling today's press conference to respond to Governor Deval Patrick’s accusation last week that he and other gubernatorial candidates have been “missing in action” in tackling health care concerns.
Cahill said it is the governor who has not done enough to lower costs imposed by the state's health insurance law, which Cahill said
- “has nearly bankrupted the state.”
Cahill said the law is being sustained only with the help of federal aid, which he suggested that the Obama administration is funneling to Massachusetts
- to help the president make the case for a similar plan in Congress."...
