Boss-achusetts: Do as we say, or pay
MASSACHUSETTS politicians last week rose to new heights of holier-than-thou arrogance. House members on Thursday — just three days after the 80-page bill was introduced — voted overwhelmingly to tax businesses that do not provide health insurance for their employees, and to require all residents who can afford it to buy health insurance.
The payroll tax, which is bad enough, at least is designed to replace an existing levy on businesses. The mandate that all residents carry health insurance is a wholly new burden.

Here in San Antonio we do not have the government telling us what to do about our private business. We are blessed with our University Health System. This is how us flyover country hayseeds take care of the health needs of our lower income citizens, Carelink.

Maybe this will force the Duck to take prozac. He lives in MA HMMMMM
Yes, Massachusetts residents have recently reaffirmed their lives as "subjects" to the legal tyranny of lawyers and politicians. Seems they are "regressing" towards their roots under some secular Hathornes, Corwin's, Danforth's, and Sewal's. Soon the new-Salem administrators will elect a new Governor Phips, who will then implement his new secular charter, and begin extracting revenge upon the descendants of the original witch prosecutors.... but in vastly larger quantities.
mr ducky, ever play "Burn the Witch" in the Monty Python "Search for the Holy Grail" video game. It's actually quite fun. Repressed desires do not go away, they merely transform... from "burning" witches" to "driving them out".
Well, at least nearby New Hampshire and upstate New York might benefit from an influx of small business owners.

Mr. Ducky, your quacking is putting a strain on your reading comprehension skills. Calm down, deep breaths and read what I said one more time. I made the point of how we care for people without health insurance here in San Antonio.
I didn't say that the legislation had passed or not. I merely commented on a story about the issue from New Hampshire.
I know that Boston was founded by Bible thumping, right wing, religious fundamentalists in 1630. I know y'all are still wing nut extremists up there I just am not sure what book you secular humanists are thumping these days. My spiritual ancestor, Roger Williams, the Baptist, had to get out of town. Must be some lesson there since you love to call us Bible thumping fundies.
Keep it up, Duck, you are looking like a lock for global village idiot. It is not emergency room health care. That would be almost as dumb as living in an out of control tax and spend nanny state.
Everybody hates Walmart yet they shop there. Everybody complains about cheap goods from China yet they buy them. At first ol' Sam Walton had a buy America policy. He tried to play to our collective patriotism. Nice try Sam. Didn't work so he had to go to the Chinese goods.
I refuse to buy any Japanese car. I make a conscious effort not to buy something from China. I figure something I buy may have been produced by slave labor. I choose not to encourage that. It is difficult to discern where a product may originate. I think there ought to be a law that everything be clearly labeled for folks like me who care about such things.
OK, you have shown that the tin foil hat wearing crowd doesn't just sit around receiving transmissions, they read as well. Now what?
