Yeah, this is the Massachusetts I know, with Mitt fathered Romneycare.

"A large and regressive tax increase on low-income workers is not the solution to America's health care problems. Some people might gain coverage, but all will lose take-home pay, and many will lose their jobs entirely."

I liken it to a Bond movie or such where the hero goes into the lab and grabs the new gizmo he has no clue about whilst the designers are yelling “it's not tested yet” but instead of recalling him they say “Hey, maybe it will work and we'll be famous”

I had a friend who was a lead researcher at a Heritage affiliate institution up until a few months ago, The health care guys were a bit altruistic but center policy did not allow for the stifling of ideas, no matter how goofy, which is the way it should be. Needless to say as I was looking at all this in 2008, he made it clear that support was far short from being unanimous across the board...
