This is nonsense. There will be tens of THOUSANDS who cannot afford it. Health insurance costs between $200 and $1200 a MONTH for crying out loud. This is ridiculous on its face. ----- Original Message ----- From: faith gagne To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 11:15 AM Subject: CS>New Law in Massachusetts
Massachusetts (Taxachusetts) has made a new law starting July 1, 2007 stating that all residents age 18 and over must have health insurance or face stiff tax penalties. I don't have to worry about it because I already have insurance, but I am outraged. This law preys upon the citizens to benefit the insurance industry. I think this is unconstitutional, oppressive, and deplorable. It is archaic, for crying out loud. I called a senator's office this morning and I was told that the whole country is going this way. I don't believe that B.S. for one minute. This is not progressive leadership, it is regressive. This is hard-line taxation burdening the people. I am just ripping, but I don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions folks? Faith
