Excuse me? Do you live here in MA? Do you know what the laws are here? The law is that if you don’t have healthcare you get fined, period. Just like if you speed you get a ticket, period. Healthcare may be a personal decision but here in MA if you chose not to have healtcare you get fined. Here in MA not having healtcare IS a crime. If you read my post you would see where I say I DO NOT AGREE WITH IT. Perhaps a remedial reading course is something you should look into.
That is the problem...
I did read where for one sentence you mention your opposition to this legislative atrocity, but in the rest of your post you chastise instead of sympathize with what happened to AU72's son. Seems as a fellow conservative, one with strong opposition to such measures, you would be much more understanding of her son's plight.
What really then becomes interesting is that for all I have seen here on FR you support the very man who created the betrayal of conservative principles, the plan you are so opposed to.
That is confusing to say the least...
