In an age when you can mentally double any program's projected cost, it's nice when things go according to plan:
Governor Mitt Romney's administration had estimated that premiums would be about $300 a month, while legislative staff members had predicted they would average $325.
Health and Human Services Secretary Timothy Murphy said yesterday the premiums are close enough to the administration's predictions that he believes the program will have adequate funding, especially given that the number of uninsured residents has dropped since the initial calculations were made.
Of course it helps when the program is well-designed.
