It's a good first step.
No, I haven't seen details of the plan, just an overview, but it's still a good first step, because health care is something that the government simply has to provide. In an era when few people can afford unsubsidized health care, and many can afford none at all, this falls under the category of those services the government must be responsible for.
Just like any other part of the infrastructure.
It is outrageous that there are millions who are sick and dying simply because they can't afford basic care. I'm not going into a litany of the facts, they're pretty well known. And those of us who consider ourselves spiritual people need to applaud the efforts Massachussetts is making, whether they go far enough or not, simply because they are steps in the right direction.
Go Massachussetts!
How can you say you love your brother or sister if you have the means to relieve their suffering but do not?
