In the NH Union Leader today there was a story about the Massachusetts plan. Apparently, the AFL-CIO is dead set against it. The problem with the plan, according to them, is that it is too much like a plan conceived by one of the biggest enemies of liberalism. That enemy is Newt Gingrich. I found the following on the web:

'Nobody washes a rental car'

Managed Care sat down with the former speaker of the House of Representatives recently to discuss his ideas to overhaul health care and place more responsibility on the individual. Newt Gingrich advocates personal responsibility, the end of paper medical records, consumer-directed health care, and mandatory health insurance or a posted bond for everyone as the way to transform the American health care system.

It seems the state legislature has gone crazy and became conservative and it means the Mitt is more in touch with conservatism than believed, or is it, the writing is on the wall and socialized care is around the corner, and these public servants aren't too dumb, and for once, they did the right thing?

Screw Newt.

I knew he was a scumbag from the way he treated his wives. This is merely the icing on the cake. A cad and a socialist. How quaint.

"...or a posted bond..."

Which is what the HSA is, and that is an option not available under Mitt's bill. Seems like a very important element that is being removed, in the name of personal responsibility.
