RangerSteve, my sympathies as you are confronted with such stupidity!

I do not understand the logic of current campaigning, and in Massachusetts where it has been made the law, of saying they are going to require people to have health insurance. I think it should be "provide" not "require." It makes no sense to me to tell folks who cannot afford health insurance or who barely are able to cover premiums and co-pays, etc. that they MUST have it when they cannot afford it now. How on earth are they then supposed to get it? I know the politicians claim they will have cheap ways of getting it, but for some folks it cheap would have to be next to nothing in order to afford it. I guess what really bothers is me is why should anyone be forced to AND why should anyone pay for it other than through taxes? We need a health care revolution!
