Ummmm.....since when is healthcare in Massachusetts “socialized”?

Then why, as a resident of MA, am I still paying for private health insurance?

Can’t say I’m in favor of the government forcing residents to buy health insurance, but to call it “socialist/socialized” is lazy.

Socialism is when the government makes decisions for the people that they have no business making.

Because you make so much money in your paychecks from the Mitt Romney campaign that you don't qualify for the 'free' health care.

Instead, you are mandated to buy insurance. Which, I'm sure you'll defend with some collectivist straw man argument just like the rest of the Romney apologists.

You’re right. The correct term is probably marxism.

#1) FROM each according to his ability (tax those who work to make money but STILL make them buy their own insurance).

#2) TO each according to his need (use the taxes from #1, above, to provide “free” health insurance to those who don’t work and make money).

Thank you for the correction.
