If the states are laboratories, then the lab to our north has at least one specimen growing out-of-control.
Department of Social Services Commissioner Michael Starkowski recently told Connecticut’s Health Care Reform Cabinet about the contrast between insurance exchanges in Massachusetts and Utah.

Watch the whole meeting at CT-N. (The comments comparing the exchanges start at minute 28.)
Let’s hope the growth to our north doesn’t travel south. Maybe we can pick up some samples from Utah instead.
