Too bad the Democrats ------ up even when they tried to "copy" it.
The Massachusetts plan didn't have a health insurance market place. It didn't have the anyone can join mentality, and was much more restrictive. ObamaCare was written for the insurance industry, to grow it.
Maybe if Democrats weren't so in bed with Lobbyist Obamacare could have actually worked. Even the Obamacare architect left the White House for pharmaceutical industry job.

Which makes me wonder as a Democrat, if the Elite Democrats can't copy something, WTF are they good at? Even Bernie is throwing Biden under the bus regarding immigration.
The really strange part for me as a Liberal is Democrats pushed to grow the health insurance industry, far enough, but then when a CEO of the health insurance industry was murdered in cold blood because of profits, they collectively cheered his killer.
