Now does THIS surprise anyone?
They have people who take ambulances to "save money" on a taxi.
Ten bucks it would cost them for a taxi but an ambulance ride costs the Taxpayers about $700.
Yup, this is Mitt Romney's plan!
He can go over and stand in the corner with Gingrich and Hucklebee.

Yep, and Massachusetts Healthcare Reform < Romneycare > is the blueprint for Obamacare. Should go swimmingly.

No one is listening, Popeye. Our Romneycare has been a finacial disaster from the beginning. Even our very liberal Governor says it needs to be fixed and blames Romney and the legislature for just wanting to get something in place without having any plan or foresight for the future.

I don't agree with Gov. Patrick, I think it needs to be tossed out. I do think it's funny that when Obamacare was being legislated Gov. Patrick was on board with everything and damn proud the Feds were using our system as a prototype. As even more abuse, fraud and failings come to light, he seems to be backpeddling a bit.

And this is exactly why the government has no business in healthcare.

Doesn't surprise me at all that you would post ridiculous drivel.

Can you kindly point out to me where in your article it states what you claimed, that I highlighted?

Rule, that was from an EMT in Western Mass who called into the Howie Carr Show today. Sorry I got that mixed up with the article, I should have said that earlier.

What's the difference between someone who isn't insured taking an unnecessary ambulance ride to the hospital and never paying for it, and someone taking an unnecessary ambulance ride to the hospital and making the state pay for it?

I think I have heard this story before,the thing is in the version I heard,it was a welfare mother driving around in a pink convertible Cadillac.Do you think these stories are being authored by the same folks? Ideologically speaking of course.

Still, the only credible GOP candidate shot himself in the foot because of this. Kinda of sucky for him: a godsend for the numerous
other NUTTY Republican candidates.
Rejoice for MA *sigh*. Laugh for the people.

Uh, pretty much any legislation has bugs in it, Maybe. It has to be tweaked after passing it. You know, "We won't know what's in it until; after we pass it"? Which the righties once again showed their idiocity by deliberately misunderstanding.

Anyway, you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. When I was building lab equipment at Shell to run experiments for displacing oil with alkaline floods (which we later scaled up to a real injection/sampling well system in White Castle, Plaquemine Parish LA)(which meant my work was good... a good feeling), I had to constantly tweak things. I'd even come in at 3 in the morning, to make sure things hadn't imploded, and to make sure my filming system (very cool Ikegami camera) was working right.

You pass the legislation, then come back and adjust it. The stupid right-fucks just want to repeal everything if there's a bump in the road. Of course, that what their corporate masters tell slaves like you to want.
