“The difference is that in Massachusetts it was constitutional and it is what the people wanted.”
Where in the constitution of Massachusetts that John Adams wrote where it justifies the state forcing individuals to purchase services from a private entity?
Fact is, RomneyCare was just as unprecedented for States as it was for the Federal government. Don’t buy the Romney BS spin for their crimes against humanity.
And as for people “wanting it.” Keep in mind Romney and his cohorts in that state lied about what it would do, but now they can’t get rid of it because, like the mob, once you’re in too deep they won’t let you out. Romney still lies about it, claiming it worked. He keeps saying that he insured everybody. That’s BS. Just as many people were uninsured after the law as they were before, though there were lots more of “legitimate” moochers. He argued they were living off the system by getting free health care by showing up in the emergency rooms and things like that. So now he just pays for their healthcare entirely, and the people who were already paying are now FORCED to pay for levels of insurance dictated by the State paying hundreds of dollars more just based on their tax bracket.
It’s socialism but with the capitalist veneer. Hmmm, similar to how the Nazis sold Fascism.
We have all kinds of laws in Texas that would get you put in jail in MA.
The States will make the decision.
I hope they choose wisely, but that’s the way the founders set up the Federal Gov.
We are supposed to look at Ca an say, Dude... that’s ****ed up, and vote it down as a nation.
Within those states I think Local law should have the most sway and beyond that I believe in individual property rights.
Isn’t that what the founders had in mind? Isn’t that America?
