6. The Mass Plan is Wacky... Unworkable

The Mass plan is actually just a plan for a plan. Sadly, it will still be based on pivate insurers. As currently written, the plan basically says "Everyone must purchase health insurance as long as the government decides that the private insurers have made it affordable, and we really, really, really hope that they make it affordable, and businesses that don't offer insurance to their employees must pay a teeny-tiny fine."

I doubt that this will actually end up working.
