We have the highest premiums in the country. We've also had the mandatory insurance longer.
Actually, Massachusetts isn't even in the top 15.

There are a lot of folk out there who confuse being lucky with being smart. So far, you've been very, very lucky. May you continue to be so. Medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcies in this country.
