Jail for people without health insurance?
Globe: Romney eyes penalties for those lacking insurance (More from the horse's mouth here).
David: How will it be enforced?
... Will police officers hand out tickets to people who cannot produce a valid health insurance card when stopped at random on the streets? What will be the penalty for disobeying this new law - jail time? a fine? harassing phone calls from some state insurance administrator? If someone who is in violation of this law has an accident and requires emergency medical care, what will happen? ...
Ben: I think Mitt Romney may have actually lost his mind.
Charley: Mitt did something -- not enough, but something -- right today.
Sco: I'm glad that the Governor wants everyone in Massachusetts to have health coverage:
... I'm just skeptical of a plan that could end up punishing people because they couldn't afford health care and if underfunded could be even worse than doing nothing.
