Abby Goodnough, writing for the New York Times covers the plight of the Boston Medical Center, which finds itself on the losing side of “Universal Healthcare,” and is thus suing the state of Massachusetts to recover the millions of dollars it has been forced by the state to give up.

I am not writing in defense of the hospital – in my opinion they deserve exactly what they’re getting because they supported the state’s socialist coverage plan. You reap what you sow! It's not like there weren't thousands of people out there telling them that socialized medicine has not worked as promised anywhere it has ever been tried! And who is going to suffer as a result? Eventually all of the poor and uninsured will; all those that the state was supposedly going to help, because at this rate Boston Medical Center won’t be able to operate. The staff will be the first to flee, quality of care will suffer as a result, and then all but the poor will go elsewhere, maybe to hospitals in neighboring states. After various cuts the Center will eventually close, and the necrotic tendrils of the government plan will squeeze other hospitals out of existence too.
And this is the plan the Democrats in Congress (and in the Oval Office) want to imitate on a national level? I’ll tell you who is going to be really upset, the Canadians! They can’t be too happy about this at all. Where are they going to get health care once we adopt their system (and that of Massachusetts)?
