Massachusetts focusing on health care solutions

Health care costs are eating up our country’s resources as we spend more each year, compared to other developed countries. Not to mention the fact that the level of care is mediocre. So, the Governor of Massachusetts has been working on a universal health care plan that could possibly change the course of health care. Governor Mitt Romney, a Republican who has presidential ambitions, is trying to make it mandatory for everyone in the state to have health coverage. It’s not socialized medicine, but Romney’s idea would require every resident to have a private health insurance policy just as every driver needs a license. People of lower incomes who can’t afford an entire policy would be subsidized by the state. It would be the end of employer-sponsored health care, which scares some people. But Clark says hallelujah! People stay in bad jobs because they are tied to their health plans, and those plans are often marked up significantly. People are focusing on solutions in Massachusetts, which is a great thing.

This week's poll
NYC health inspectors have been handing out violations to chain restaurants that don't post calorie counts on their menus. What's your take on this?
I believe in what the inspectors are doing. Long live the food police.
This isn't a legitimate function of gov't-paid employees.
I couldn't care less. I'd be eating at home to save money!
