Yes it is. The Legislature drew up the law and the Governor, Deval Patrick,
signed it into law.

This is nonsense. There will be tens of THOUSANDS who cannot afford it.
Health insurance costs between $200 and $1200 a MONTH for crying out loud.
This is ridiculous on its face.

Subject: CS>New Law in Massachusetts
Massachusetts (Taxachusetts) has made a new law starting July 1, 2007
stating that all residents age 18 and over must have health insurance or face
stiff tax penalties. I don't have to worry about it because I already have
insurance, but I am outraged.
This law preys upon the citizens to benefit the insurance industry. I
think this is unconstitutional, oppressive, and deplorable. It is archaic, for
crying out loud.
I called a senator's office this morning and I was told that the whole
country is going this way. I don't believe that B.S. for one minute. This is
not progressive leadership, it is regressive. This is hard-line taxation
burdening the people.
I am just ripping, but I don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions
folks?
