Democrats should be really, really afraid;<br /><br />http://www.washingtonpolicy.org/publications/opinion/what-washington-dc-could-learn-washington-state-health-care-reform<br /><br />'The Washington Health Services Act led to rising health care costs and fewer options for consumers. These outcomes were generated by the legislation’s centralized financing and delivery of health care, including the rationing of health care, limiting consumer choices for doctors, and consumers paying for coverage they did not need or necessarily want.<br /><br />'The health care issue was on the minds of Washington state voters in the 1994 general election. The state House of Representatives went from 65 Democrats and 33 Republicans to 61 Republicans and 37 Democrats. The Democratic majority in the state senate was downsized to just one seat. Post-election analysis revealed that as voters learned more about the radical health care changes made by their citizens’ legislature, the greater their opposition grew.'susupplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712328565035046516noreply@blogger.com
