“They did nothing of any value. They have been babbling-on for a year now, and did nothing.

Healthcare may not be a right but Health Insurance should be.

All they did was make it a crime to not have insurance. Yet the crime is that it costs so much.”

“Its about time too National Insurance, Big Oil and Big Pharma to pay for the things we need. I also love the idea of Taxing the Slime Oozing out of Our Tv Sets to the tune of about 85% of what they take in. Just let "all of it" be run by who is doing it now.

This Union is making me sick!

“Tell me if I am wrong but is not Social Security and Medicare a completely different tax than the income tax?

Its not S.S. and Medicare that will break this Union. Its our GUNS AND BOMBS Budget which we export.

“Yes put in on the ballot. Yet Massachusetts messed up with its H.C. Plan. They should have found a way to expand both Mass-Health and Common-Wealth-Health. Now its just against the law not to have H.C. How I make too much on SSDI to have fallen off of Mass-Health and Common-Wealth-Health still puzzles me.”
