Re: Re: Will MA force people to purchase health insurance? Require proof of insurance when renewing your driver's license. When filing state income tax. When seeking in-state medical care. When breathing.
Re: Re: Re: Will MA force people to purchase health insurance? Yet another reason to vote Libertarian. The GOP is rapidly becoming a tax and spend, over-regulation Party just like the Democrats. We now see good Republicans--Hagel, McCain, Romney, Graham, and others--beginning to cater to specific groups of voters for possble '08 runs. This is one reason I like Bush so well. He sticks to his guns. He knew he was going to be in a close race in '04, yet he ran on his record and didn't change positions as the wind blew or focus groups would dictate.
Mass. state government gone amuck again, as far as I am concerned. I don't believe any level of U.S. government, local, state or federal, should force any citizen to buy anything they don't want, or cannot afford. This type of government intervention will may put the small businessman out of business. The big insurance companies have always had the ear of the politicians of this state. And, as my Grandmother use to say to me as a kid, "Money just doesn't talk, it screams!" Big brother at it's worst, and it always seems to start in Massachusetts. If this happens in other states because of Massachusetts, please don't blame me,....I didn't vote for them!
