Recently Democrats Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and President Obama passed and signed national healthcare, known as ObamaCare, mandating citizens must purchase health insurance. Currently the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (The Bay State) has for years their version of ObamaCare, however called RomneyCare, named after former governor Mitt Romney.

Massachusetts requires adults to purchase healthcare insurance. Compliance with this mandate is reported once a year when filing state income tax forms, must file form MA 1099-HC.

Michael A. Merlina of Massachusetts could not afford to purchase the required insurance at $425.00 a month. The State then fined Mr. Merlina $2,000 for not adhering to the Commonwealth's law. 53,000 Massachusetts citizens have been levied this fine. The fines go into a fund to pay for health insurance for those who cannot afford to purchase it. Mr. Merlina was told he earned too much to qualify to be a recipient of this fund. His monthly income is $3,048, while monthly expenses are $3,238, leaving him with a monthly deficit of $190.00.

The Massachusetts bureaucrats rejected his figures and insisted the fine be paid. He sued the state, went before a judge and as of this writing / video awaiting the judge's decision.

Hey tony did you get a new camera?

[PropagandaBuster]

@luigeluis93 - It is a webcam I had and rarely used before, it is a Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000 webcam. I just purchased a newer one today, an HD Logitech CD510.

@Joe402 Ok let's talk about the basics of the political spectrum.

The farther right you are from center, the less power government has. The farther left you go, the more power government has.

To even try and suggest this is a right wing bill is flat out ignorant.

Captain retard has spooken! Have u ever been close to water? Den här lilla lilla bögkaptenen sitter i sitt lilla hobbyrum någonstans i sydstaterna och gaggar om något han inte har någon koll på. Om han skulle dyka upp inom Sveriges gränser ska jag personligen slakta honom "Whalestyle"

[lefayad1991]

It's called demOcrats. Not demEEcrats you stupid hick

[dayingyang0]

Well you "them there" Republicans wouldn't allow there to be a public option so that this guy could get insurance at a reasonable price.

Tony, As a republican it is unbelievable that you're railing against a mandate/fine. It is always you republicans that complain about having to foot the bill for the uninsured.

Also, you've made many statements in this video that are completely false (as you always do).

Hi Tony. I'm one of those few "Democrats" that normally agree with you on most issues. I'm a gun totin, bible carryin, American Citizen who also believes that "we the people" is slowly fading into the background. Of course to be honest, even the term Democrat doesn't describe my political views but neither does Republican so ... anyway, just for the record I post. I don't believe that people should be "forced to buy" medical insurance they can't afford..but if you'll permit I'll continue.
