Here's the Article:
Our leadership in Washington is continuing their attack on health care. We should ignore them as much as possible. Massachusetts has few natural resources. If we want to thrive, we need to attract growth tech industries. We will. When I walk around Boston, it feels like something exciting is happening. We have a concentration of well-educated people with diverse backgrounds. This is a recipe for growth and innovation.

However, health care costs are a drag on our competiveness. Denmark which is about the same in population spends about half what we spend. Even if the federal government leaves the Affordable Health Care Act unchanged, we still have a problem. We are an innovative state! It is time for use to take health care to the next level.
