Don't like the Romneys, never did.
BUT, I have mixed feelings on this bill.
The way ROmney explained it, the state is ALREADY paying this amount of money out for medical coverage for these people. The difference here is that the state will now be paying for medical insurance coverage instead and getting a better bang for the taxpayer buck in doing so.
As for mandating health coverage by employers - I don't know about that. But at least it will discourage employers of illegal aliens there. They don't want to provide medical coverage for their illegals and want to pass the social cost of that on to the taxpayers.

...and those already insured will see a modest drop in their premiums. More likely, their premiums will go up.

Take notes, between the mandatory health care and the Senate Bill we are witnessing the decline of America as we knew it.

The measure does not call for new taxes but would require businesses that do not offer insurance to pay a $295 annual fee per employee. Orwellian speak.

This is idiotic. It reminds me of the Medicaid prescription plan, under which doctors can write you twenty different prescriptions, whether they're necessary or not, and Uncle Sam will pay for every one of them. Having the government pay all the costs of health care only increases the costs.

Alright what happened to the conservatives in the republican party. The place is chock full of liberals.

"Individuals deemed able but unwilling to purchase health care could face fines of more than $1,000 a year by the state if they don't get insurance. Used to be free alert.

This needs to be challenged in the SCOTUS. Who the hell do these people think they are?
