BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

The government promised you health care. When forced to buy the government-approved plan or face the tax man, you complied. But the cost didn't go down, it went up; it's the highest ever. It takes now 3 months to see a doctor. And when you need care, the government plan denies it four times more often than your insurance company. Now the government is short on money. They started rationing care, cutting hospital payments, withdrawing coverage from some families, and it has just been 3 years since it all began.

Folks, this isn't the future, this is Massachusetts today. Higher costs, slower care, and rationing. That is why Massachusetts said ``no'' to Obama care. America is saying ``no'' too because bigger government doesn't mean better health care.
