Everyone would be required by law to buy health insurance - if they didn't, tax returns would be held - for starters. Small business wuld be required to provide health insurance - at @ $300 per employee - for many small businesses this would be more than their monthly net....not to mention = new jobs would become scarcer than hens teeth.

Romney didn't cite any perceived savings for the state, he just said that the millions they now spend on the UNinsured would go , instead, towards helping the low income buy insurance.

So - no net savings of tax payer money but a death knell for small business - and new jobs?

Any wonder Hillary and Kerry are jumping for joy?

I think Massachusetts just slit its own throat.

I saw the talking heads on Foxnews talking about this bill. They were absolutely beaming about what a good bill it is. Then one of them had the gall to mention at the end that it really doesn't do much about cost containment--or in fact, anything.


You've got to ask what the point of it is then.

The giant sucking sound is the sound of all the businesses leaving Massachusetts.

"In what could be a blow to Massachusetts Republican Gov. Mitt Romney's presidential aspirations..."

I can scarcely believe that Romney is on board with this BS.

He is not the man that I thought he was.

G'nite Mitt.

The great white hope from the land of K & K.

Stick a fork in him.

Then pile on 20 million illegal aliens and the kids they will be poppin' out....

"Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Back Mitt Romney's Health Plan"

The political "Kiss of Death." But Mit brought this mess upon himself and showed everyone here on FR who was interested in him as a potential presidential candidate, along with the rest of the country his TRUE stripes/colors

People are so dumb to believe that passing the burden on to the businesses will solve the health care problem. Only deregulation and incentive-oriented policies will solve the problem, truly. Every other solution is just a hidden tax increase - either on individuals or businesses.

[mombonn]

methinks sinators hillary and kerry must be really scared of Romney.

[stylin19a]

Seems like this should be the RATS game plan.
Hillary and Kerry like it\you.
They work this magic to end up picking who they want to run against.

Good grief...I just gave Howard Dean a new DNC platform.

I'm in MA and living in denial. Clicking my heels and wishing for Kansas....

Hey, Massachusetts, say good bye to your economy. The only people who will be able to find a job in Massachusetts are illegal aliens.

If nothing else, Republican politicians are always good for a laugh.
