1. For your guy's sake I hope so.
The plan as it stands, is a burden not a relief to the working class and small businesses, but a big bonanza for the health care industry who caused this health care mess we are in to begin with.

2. It's also a motivator to get poor people to leave Massachusetts
If you are "on the margins" and cannot afford insurance, you might just have to move to a neighboring state to avoid "fines", in case your kid gets sick and you are found to be uninsured..

Ole Mitt had it all figured out. When poor people leave Massachusetts, they become someone else's "problem". It's a shell game .
