Hey Brian! Better take your own advise and stop repeating all this false information before someone calls you out on it!!!

MASS HEALTH REFORM ISN’T WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And whereas MASS doesn’t have an individual mandate requiring a resident to HAVE a car, they are going to NEED it. It’s going to be the only place they can afford to live in once they get done paying for their health insurance, high deductibles and all the ohter things that the health insurance DOESN’T cover. But I guess that’s good in a way. If they are living in their car they won’t be forced to have to make a choice between paying for health insurance and their utilities.

Brian,

Does Massachusetts have an individual mandate requiring a resident to have a car?
