This is scary scary news.
I've been on the fence with my feelings and position in regards to H.R. 3200 up until now; however, this is the definitive turning point for me and
my opinions on it.
The Mass health care system is a state sized micro-version of what a national socialized medicine program would be. It has even been touted as a
"model" for a national program, as stated on CNN a few days ago:

I never once thought that in my lifetime I might be surrounded by people in bio-hazmat suits that are ready to stick me with a needle and syringe
filled with toxic chemicals that I want nothing to do with; and if I disagreed, I'd be ruined financially, locked up in a quarantine jail where
others will most likely be sicker than I, and then I'd also end up with a criminal record if somehow I lived through it all.
That's just a tip of the iceberg scenario; the life changing implications of legislation like this are mind boggling.
If something like this can be pulled off in one state, then it could happen to us all here in the U.S.; if this is what socialized medicine is going
to be like; it's obviously a bad choice.
