Pitchfork Time

As Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute pointed out, “The cost of the [Massachusetts] program has exploded; it’s running $150 million above the original projection for this year alone.” And that was in 2007 - the first full year the plan was in place. This year, according to Rep. Jeff Perry (R-Sandwich), the total “health reform” cost will be $1 billion.

Liberals whined that the Bush administration was anti-science. Well, we’ve got a health-care experiment going on in Massachusetts, and it’s going horribly wrong. And yet, as this massive, taxpayer-killing monster lurches off the lab table, Dr. Obama is still planning to use the same formula.

Time to grab the pitchforks, folks.
