Do what now?

I got this info from a Friends of Fred Thomson email and I'm floored. A Republican is supporting government mandated health care? Seriously? Have they done no research? Hell they're close enough to Canada, just ask them how great it is. And to penalize those with out health care? What if someone is wealthy enough to pay out of pocket? Should they be fined too?

And on top of that to cover all abortions? A government health care plan is paying for abortions. Tax payers money is helping to fund abortions. Unfuckingbelievable.

Here's a link to the video mentioned in the email and a link to the state's website where is tells those lucky residents of MA to register or face the hammer of doom. I bet Jay is having a field day with this.....
Oh and here's the text of the actual email-

"Mitt Romney says his government-mandated health care plan is one of his most important accomplishments as governor. But what does his plan really accomplish, and is this the kind of health care plan YOU would want to be forced to pay for?

Today, November 15th, Massachusetts residents who fail to register with the government and show proof of health care coverage will be slapped with a tax penalty for this year!

For individuals, the amount will be on average $219 this year and they will receive a punitive fine as much as $2,000 over the next year.1

Small business owner? It's even worse; you'll be fined $295 per employee who isn't enrolled in Romney's government-mandated health care plan!2

So what sort of services does Romney's health care p lan provide?

Per the state website:

$50 co-pay for abortions

While court mandate requires Massachusetts to cover "medically necessary" abortions in state-subsidized health plans4, Mitt Romney's plan covers ALL abortions - no restrictions.

After it passed, Romney vetoed dental care for Medicaid recipients from his health plan, but did nothing to prevent coverage of abortion on demand for a mere $50.

Romney has tried to distance himself from his Hillarycare-type plan, but you can watch the video where he takes full credit. There's nothing conservative about Mitt Romney's health care plan. It's a government subsidized health care plan that requires citizens to register with the state, slaps working people with tax penalties, and provides $50 abortions on demand."
