Over 250 Massachusetts doctors have signed an open letter to the country warning that the health reform model enacted by Massachusetts is failing and that a single payer program is the only alternative.

“It is urgent that the rest of the country know that Massachusetts is a living laboratory for the health care reforms being pushed in California and by the Obama/Clinton/Edwards campaigns. Right now the Gov. Romney/Massachusetts’ plan gets a failing grade on the ground,” said Dr.Rachel Nardin, Assistant Professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School.

Romney's piece of crap health care scam mandates that I pay $3900/yr ($345/mo) in premiums with a $4000 deductible. Do the math....quite expensive. They can shove it up their keester, cuz I ain't paying into that Romney scam.
