Massachusetts has taken the lead, now the other 49 soveriegn states must follow. Health care reform is too big, too morally charged, and too complex for the Federal Gov't to handle. Because there is no constitutional right to equal access to health care (or education, for that matter), there is no truly compelling incentive or authority for the Federal gov't to dictate the terms of reform for each of the 50 states. So I say, plant your seeds of reform locally, and tend them as they grow.... Health care reform is a culturally sensitive issue that will be best addressed on the state / commonwealth scale.
