Er,,, a reality check please! Brown opposed the plan saying a one sized plan does not fit all and went on to say that in Massachusets they had already achieved a 98% coverage rate.

Totally dishonest AD; MA already has a state governed health plan that works great; most voters are satisfied. In fact, people voted against Dems because the Federal HP would siphon money from MA to benefit conservative red states.
