Healthcare in Massachusetts (with the public option)

An interesting summary of benefits and problems here.

My experience: I live in Massachussetts, which essentially has the healthcare system that is being proposed nationwide, including the public option. I would have loved to have selected the public option -- but my income was too high. What I was able to do was comparison shop on a single Mass-run website to decide between every available (private) health insurance company/plan. I found a "gold" rated plan -- the works, low deductible -- for a very good price. Mass is rated #1 in the healthcare in the nation, and it's by far the best experience I've had: perhaps this is just my primary care provider (Harvard Vanguard), but I've never had an exorbitant office wait time, and there's far less bureaucracy and better customer service than I've experienced in any of the many states in which I've lived.
