Here's what you all have to look for. . .

Universal Health Care is good, we can afford it, . . . these are not the droids you are looking for. . . .ya right, keep drinking the Cool Aid if you want to believe that folks. From Boston.com:

The Globe reported Sunday that annual costs for the subsidized insurance program at the heart of the initiative are projected to double over the next three years, reaching $1.35 billion by June 2011.

Lawmakers are also working to address a more immediate issue, an increase of about $400 million in healthcare spending included in Governor Deval Patrick's proposed fiscal 2009 budget. In the budget, nearly $160 million of that increase would come directly from state taxpayers, with most of the rest coming from the federal government.

So you all want universal health care. . . It don’t work. Nothing is free folks, and her is the proof. We here in MA had this BS shoved down our throats with the promises that it would work and be affordable. . . . guess what? They either cooked the books or lied to us to get it passed. This state is all but bankrupt due to a badly run government controlled by our liberal state legislature. They don’t have the money to do this and won’t admit they screwed up no matter what. This from our great leaders in the Legislature:

"I don't think there should be any retreat," said DiMasi (Speaker of the House)

"We've made a commitment [to the healthcare initiative], and we have to keep it," Murray said. (Senate President)

Watch out folks, they will do anything to get the money to make this work so they can claim there socialist policies are good and successful. . . that includes breaking any and all promises they made to get it passed and raising whatever taxes needed to do it. Mass is in trouble, and as the boat sinks these fools are rearranging the deck chairs. . .

This also from Boston.com:

But Richard Lord, president of Associated Industries of Massachusetts and a member of the state panel overseeing implementation of the insurance initiative, said policy makers must be careful not to destroy the compromise that enabled the state to launch the initiative in 2006.

"If we reopen some of those positions that were an integral part of the agreement, it's hard to predict what the reaction will be," Lord said.

Sorry Richard, there is no IF here. You made a deal with the devil on this and now you will find out that he will change the rules as he sees fit. Good luck with that. . . .

As a geek I think this quote says it all (from George Lucas – Star Wars)

Darth Vader: Calrissian. Take the princess and the Wookie to my ship.
Lando: You said they'd be left at the city under my supervision.
Darth Vader: I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.

So Richard, like the rest of us serfs you too can pray they don’t alter it any further. . . . Welcome to the Peoples Republic dude. . . .
