I don’t see that Government insurance is the ONLY choice the people have….they can chose their medical insurance, even those who are on limited income and require some subsidy to help them buy their insurance.

There is no govt insurance in MA except medicaid and medicare, same as every other state. Blue Cross Blue Shield has about 60% of the market with most of the rest split between two other carriers. The only govt involvement is the "exchange" which facilitates individuals in buying from one of the private companies. For some poor people, the state subsidizes purchase of private insurance. The biggest flaw in MA insurance law existed long before Romney, and that is the ever growing list of mandated coverages which prevent affordable insurance.
