Nope, contrary to what Romney would like us to believe, he was the governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts when our universal health care law was passed in 2006. He spearheaded it and made a big deal of it. It's very similar to the Federal Affordable Healthcare Act.
So far, the earth hasn't stopped revolving here. I am even employed because of provisions of this bill and my son used the Connector to get insurance when he graduated college, as he worked for a 6 person company with no benefits. There are some 20 somethings who don't do this and risk the chance that they will have a medical issue and also are betting that the state doesn't catch them and fine them at tax time. Mostly, these are employed people who could find some lower cost health insurance, like my son did, or could still be covered under their parents' policy, up to age 26. We made our son buy the coverage and he did use it.
