My wife and I are fined about $2400 each year by the state of Massachusetts for not buying health insurance. I’m almost 60, been layoff, and jobs are hard to find. We live basically off our savings and investments and always paid our own medical costs; but, since receiving the fines our family budget is now out of balance, I‘ve had to reduced my insulin shots to save money; this will eventually lead to organ failure. The state is literally killing me with there fine. I’m being fined for being responsible and paying my own medical bills. If the fines continue and get bigger we plan on moving out of the state when I retire to save money; my pension will follow me and the state will loose out on our income tax revenue. Being fined for living? Being fined for not buying a financial product? I love the people of MA but hate its insensitive no-it-all politicians.

A high deductable plan (where people pay cash for their yearly physical) is ILLEGAL in MA. A couple who paid cash and carried a high deductable plan was fined by the Socialists of Massachusetts, since their plan didn’t have all the bells and whistles, which through higher premiums, would subsidize the chronically sick.

NEWSFLASH: Not all of us were born with disease.
Get over it.

What’s next? You want drivers with 25 DWI’s under their belt to pay the same for auto insurance as a “MADD” member?

Most of the provisions in the two bills are similar.

Both bills are very good for Massachusetts. We expect the final bill to be a compromise between the House and Senate versions. This would be good for Massachusetts.

How do you know that “national health reform is good for Massachusetts?

Have you seen any bill that will pass in both the House and Senate? If so, what’s in it?
