>Tracy, all true except that the families switched themselves- they wanted to join the scheme. And the socialized scheme at $27/child compared to the insurance cost of $55 per child means it was costing half as much for identical care from the same providers in the same facility.
Within that $27 is the lie and hence the point. The true costs are not $27. The actual cost of the program was significantly larger and the State had to cover those costs through taxation, borrowing or budgetary shenanigans. In the end the lawmakers realized that the problem would compound significantly and chose to scrap the program before it got out of hand.
