It is my opinion the feds got involved way before Mass passed their law, but it was them that forced their hand. Almost as if the whole issue was designed and decided way before BO and the dems took over. And at this point, and despite what the SC finds, I don't believe we have any choice. Because the medical subsidies have grown so large and the federal govt controls the money, they pull the strings and states are being forced to make choices they would otherwise ignore. The hand writing was on the wall when Obama and the dems took over and they obviously decided they'd had enough of the stalling and saw the coffers were being drained by ever expanding demand by the states for hc money, they put their foot down and implemented some rules. I understand why private insurers are enthusiastic...........they really have the most to gain. As a conservative, it is my opinion legislators should have worked with private insurers to find free enterprise solutions, starting with advertising of the cost of care, and this willingness to jump on the mandate wagon was where they went wrong. In the end, I don't think it matters. I don't see there is the will on the part of legislators to go in a different direction.
