Tea Party Leader to Romney: Massachusetts Health Law 'Absolutely' Unacceptable

Politicians do think it will be good enough for them. The law requires them to get their insurance on the exchanges that will be set up in 2014.

I can't find the "injected bias": all of the references to Republicans are fact - Romney is a Republican, the Republicans did campaign on "repeal and replace" Obamacare, Amy Kremer said what she said, and Tea Party Express poured money into Republican primaries.

I think Ms. Lawrence is a well respected and very credible journalist, and this article is VERY accurate in my opinion. I think Tea party folks get a little rattled when it is PROVEN that most of the things they complain about is TOTALLY FALSE! It's time to call these people out! ROmney had a good model, it's working in his state, and the national plan is modeled after Romney's law. So, the tea party is turning into political CANNIBALS! The GOP as we know it has been INFECTED with this radical fringe ideology that makes little sense at all, and I am VERY GLAD that the health care LAW is LAW. It's NOT going to get repealed, and it;s NOT going to get defunded.....and if the tea party and the republicans want to go down that road, they best get ready for a BIGGER tsunami in 2012, because 70 or 80 seats in the house will go BACK to forward leaning Democrats and AWAY from these tea party radicals.

I don't think he would have ever imagined the American people paying for people who are not American citizens. Let alone them being illegal and allowed to stay and suck a dried out system even further in the whole taking away for legal citizens.

bcmstore, I'm not so sure it's that easy to deduce what Jefferson's reaction to today's undocumented immigrants would be. Though he opposed the concept of slavery, he owned slaves himself. He believed in the inferiority of blacks, but fathered the children of one of his slaves. He did think slaves should eventually be freed, but he also felt they should not be allowed to stay in this country, lest they resent and retaliate against their former owners. Based on that history, you might be correct that Jefferson would advocate the removal of illegal immigrants. But his political and moral stances were not always without fault.

The Tea Party Express is very influential and has lots of money. It will be bad news for Romney if they actively oppose him.

Well, it is an article about a leader of the Tea Party voicing her opinion about the Romney health care program.. duh... I think the point is perhaps they don't have the clout tha Fox news claims they do

I disagree. The program is VERY popular, and almost ALL Masachusetts residents participate. Obviously you do not live in Massachusetts. I believe your assessment of the situation is completely INACCURATE. Have a nice day.

I was born and raised in Mass at a time when the factories were full and functioning. I left then went back to college there. Many of the factories closed. Many family members moved away. The ones that remain are struggling especially the ones without a college education, some have their own businesses and struggling. If they are spending $36 million for health care for persons who are not legally here that would be more than enough for a state ID card. I don't want to pay another dime in taxes for the 20 million who have overstayed their welcome. There are over 35 visas let them apply legally. Today Pelosi is talking about the Dream Act again, free education for the children of illegals, just how much are you willing to pay???
