The word “insurance” does not appear in the Massachusetts Constitution. However, that Constitution’s “Declaration of Rights” says: “All people are born free and equal and have certain natural, essential and unalienable rights; among which may be reckoned the right of enjoying and defending their lives and liberties; that of acquiring, possessing and protecting property; in fine, that of seeking and obtaining their safety and happiness.”

How does a mandate that forces a man to surrender some of his liberty and some of his property in purchasing a government-approved health-insurance policy comport with the natural rights to liberty and property expressly protected by the Massachusetts Constitution?

Our states are laboratory’s of freedom.
The Majority of liberal jackasses in Ma wanted it and the got it.
These are folks that gave Kennedy, Frank, and Kerry lifetime positions.

At the National level we have rejected this liberal crap, but Obama and Pelosi shoved it down our throat stifling the voice of the majority.

Romney did no such thing. He merely did what his constituents wanted.
