So how am I saving money? If Bay Staters are saving so much money with this awesome plan then they should get their collective hands out of my pocket. I fail to see why I should subsidize their folly.

Is it still bad to pay higher taxes if you end up saving money?

Steaming pile, that’s not exactly the point being made here. I would bet the rich are paying much more, while the poor are probably paying a little less. however the point is even if they are paying less, you and I are paying more! and we’re not getting any benefit from it.

How much is the average Massachusetts resident paying NET (premiums plus additional taxes) for health insurance vs. before? Nowhere in your spiel do you ever mention that. Is it possible that Bay Staters actually SAVE money by making health care universal? I don't know about you, but I like money very much.
