Florida Health Insurance News

I suppose if you are reading this blog you are at least familiar with the fact that Massachusetts passed a health reform bill with the help of a Republican governor who just ran for President but lost during the primaries due to his Mormon beliefs in heretic serpents. Or something like that. I don’t know which sentence seems more unlikely now if I didn’t know what actually happened, health reform or serpents. When I heard about this magnificent piece of news I was shocked as I couldn’t ever imagine this occurring. More significantly it gave me hope for the rest of the country. As this happened in 2006, it should have had time to become a model for the rest of the country. If you are not familiar with the reform that was passed in the ole MA in 2006 you might be surprised to learn that it actually helped cover nearly the entire population of Massachussets citizens. More importantly, in this state where cigarettes are nearly $8 a carton and everything is more expensive than in Florida they were able to cover the entire populace with health plans that were also better than what we are forced to give out in Florida.
