huh.

don't really care.

In Massachusetts you already have government mandated healthcare, and in fact, the system that your state has in place is more progressive than the one on the senate floor at the moment.

Actually... our health care system is crappy. The republican who implemented it has more holes then to what to do with it. it has piss poor spending to it, and the bill that is in place at the senate has more fiscal responsibility than the one that Massachusetts was so hesitant to pass. Funny Scott Brown approved that bill, but will deny this one based on the fact that it came from a democrat, which is really flip flop. It's why I don't have state COBRA and I am uninsured at the moment. I'm telling Massachusetts to suck it because I don't care if I get sick or not.

But either way, if the republican wins it's essentially Massachusetts telling the rest of the country "suck it bitches."

Exactly. Suck it

if your parents pay for your health care or have school based health care... then yea you shouldn't care

If the Democratic candidate wasn't awful at campaigning and could pull her head out of her ass it would be a no brainier. Obama carried Massachusetts by 26 points in the election. WTF people.

Martha Coakley is a dumb bitch, and she's a lawyer. Those people are such good liars... ITS PATHOLOGICAL
She's a good attorney general... just don't want her anywhere near Washington.

In 1995 lawyers constituted 43% of the total seats in the house and senate. I don't think it's so crazy to have the people who pass the laws be lawyers. What I don't like are lobbyists.

I know it's a 15 year old figure, but it's difficult to find up-to-date info on segment breakdowns within congress.

EDIT -- today it's 36% or 162 out of 441

Oh I know about the congress seats are taken majority by lawyers. Hell Kennedy was a lawyer.
She was walking with *suspense music* CEOs of health care companies!!!! This woman would be the ultimate lobbyist it's sickening.

On a side note I'm kind-of weirded out by the fact that this discussion hasn't degraded into ad homonym attacks.

Good job, Loka.
