More and more legislators from both sides of the political aisle are looking at Massachusetts’ “landmark” healthcare plan as a way to expand coverage to all Americans.  Even Jeff Sessions is expressing interest.

Senator Jeff Sessions, Republican of Alabama and a member of the HELP Committee, said, “It has aspects I’m interested in. I think it merits some examination.”

The jury is still out on the plan in my opinion.  I have some philosophical misgivings with it, but it may be the most attractive compromise available.  The federal government should move slowly and allow the MA plan to mature so flaws (especially copious red ink) and fixes can be identified.
