OBAMACARE = $ 500 Billion in new or increased taxes
MASS PLAN = NO new taxes
OBAMACARE =$ 500 Billion in medicaire cuts
MASS PLAN = NO cuts for seniors.
I suppose anyone can believe anything, even that MASS is just like the US government !

All of you keep telling me, what I don't know.

Gov. Dukakis of Mass. never issued any new taxes, or increased taxes. According to him, he only enhanced the ones that were already there. If you want to play with the English language, go right ahead. If you didn't have health insurance in Mass, you got fined. Money came out of your pocket. Do you think people care, if it was called a tax or a fine?
What actual programs makes up the 500 billion in Medicare cuts?
The 500 billion in tax increases sounds like a made up number, or again are we playing with numbers? Is this an increase over a ten year period?
What I do know, is Republicans have no idea how to deal with the number of uninsured people in the US, nor do they care about these people, most of which live in states that they control.
