What other product does the state government MANDATE you to buy, just for being alive?
Just for being alive, nothing, but if you want "priveledges," i.e. driving, insurance is mandatory. I bet that with all the benefits that those on Medicaid get, that people in NY are paying more for insurance already (whether they're on it or not, through NYS taxes) for those on Medicaid than any person living in Mass. is probably paying.
Also, you don't see me saying that I agree with it, but at the same time, you don't see people like DVOR, Hamburg, or Box A Rox running there to get their "free" coverage.

Free Coverage??? How would I qualify for "FREE COVERAGE"? Middle income people in both NY and MA have to pay for their health coverage... It's not FREE!

oh...it's 'free'.....If you and I have insurance in NYS it's HIGHLY regulated based on regions....
1. we have the same plan 2. you're overweight(from all those f'en GIANT sugary drinks) 3. I'm slim and sporty(prefer kashi, tofu etc) 4. I'm rock climbing and fall 5. you're sitting on your couch playing Xbox 360 mass effect an sprain your thumb 6. I require helicopter rescue 7. I'm in ER and required emergency surgery 8. you wander to fridge to grab old bag of frozen corn to put on your thumb and decide to help yourself to the pint of monkey fudge ice cream you just purchased yesterday and decided to save for rainy day, as you already had eaten 2 whoppers yesterday. 9. I spend 2 weeks in hospital for acute medical care and another 4 weeks inpatient rehab 10. I'm discharged home and have another 12 weeks outpatient rehab. 11. you return to you game and have international conversations while playing mass effect and munching on your pint of monkey fudge.
fast forward 30 or 40 years:
1. you have been taking lipitor for your cholesterol 2.you have been taking blood pressure meds for your hypertension. 3. you suffer from degenerative joint disease of both knees because of your morbid obesity. 4. I suffer from arthritis of both shoulders and both knees. 5. I suffer from stomach problems from taking tylenol and ibuprofen.
who has spent more?

who cares no one even cares about it anymore.....what's the troop number up to now? VOLUNTARILY that is, even if daddy did strong arm you, it still counts as volunteering because the government didn't make you.

Most of them are either too controversial or not ready for prime time.. If I had to guess, its either Palenty or Daniels, with my choice being Daniels. If he wants to make a splash, I'd guess either Rice or Christie..although I'm not sure either of them would accept.

I don't know much about any, but of those that I know of, I know even less of Haley, so can't comment on how well she'd pull in votes.
My top 4 out of the list at this time are Jindal, Rubio, Rice and Pawlenty.
Haley came on like a storm, but right now, she's not even popular in her own state. She's a relative newcomer, so I put her in the not ready for primetime group. Jindal was a rising star, but his disastrous response to an Obama State of Union speech still haunts him. His delivery was so bad, he made GWB look like the winner of the Harvard Orators contest. Pawlenty, JMHO, is a yawner. Rubio would probably be a good choice, but I don't think he wants it. Rice ? between her and Christie, she'd be more likely to run.

Really, they made me click on 14 pages to see each nitwit?
If they are, they'll match the current VP
