The whole concept is bizarre ~ what it does is make your first dollar of expense your medical insurance. Food, Shelter and Clothing come second.
The law is telling you that it doesn't matter if you have nothing to eat, are homeless, and dressed in rags, you gotta' pay that insurance first or GO TO PRISON.
It's just not right. Only a madman would agree to such a thing.
Romney agreed.
That’s interesting. So, all the homeless and broke people in MA are in prison? How many? When do they get out? As soon as they are out, won’t they just be arrested immediately for, um, you know what?
Well, look at it this way: if you're in prison, you get free medical care.
