Many states force everyone to pay for health care. Its pulled directly from the paycheck.

Which other states force "everyone" to pay for healthcare?

Because Massachusetts doesn't.

Massachusetts forces taxpayers to pay for everyone's health care. On welfare or "too poor" or "too sick" or just don't wanna? ? Thank a Massachusetts taxpayer. They are the ones paying outrageous tax bills.

Not "everyone", as you claim. Middle class taxpayers.

Its a state issue that he was forced to deal with.

He was not forced to require that taxpayers subsidize everyone and their dog in Massachusetts, but he did it anyway.

Now, thanks to Romney, Massachusetts is left with huge government interventions into the private lives of citizens, double digit increases for employer health care costs, and a huge taxpayer burden.

As an experiment, however, the Massachusetts law has revealed certain weaknesses in the plan. Three areas of concern are: overreaching social planning by the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority (the “exchange”); double-digit increases in health insurance costs for many employers and individuals, and too much taxpayer money still underwriting free care.

That article was written by Tim Murphy, Secretary of Health and Human Services Romney.

According to Murphy, while admitting the massive problems, he thinks the law can be fixed with yet more government intervention. Apparently, the people Romney appoints are about as bright as he is.

As a conservative, I'm appalled at the thought of stealing an individual's hard earned money to fund other people's lifestyles.

I'm not in favor of "overreaching social planning", either.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

When I worked in New Jersey they had a state deduction in my paycheck for uninsured Wellfare leaches that used hospitals for primary care.

The supreme court and legislature of New Jersey started writing law, long ago, forcing Governors hands, much like Massatooshits.

If Massatooshits people are unhappy with Romney care, why the f$%k do they still have it? He's been gone for what, eight years?

Its against the law in virtually every state to turn away people at an emergency room if they have no insurance.

Like it or not, Tax payers pay in virtually every state for the uninsured.

So, if Governor Christy in NJ is collecting this Tax, is he too liberal for the Presidency too? Is any republican governor fit for the presidency?
