Your point about child support also resonates.

#2, I’ll have to remember that last para, as I’m afraid it will need to be employed frequently in the coming years.

It’s 43% more for an adult and 90% more for a kid under 10. Now obviously, there some regional cost differences between Colorado and Massachuesetts, however, not 90% worth, much less 43%. The worst part of this is premium increases on those who are paying now will be forthcoming to cover that increase in costs created by those who don’t. Remember, it is the premium payers who are being taxed via the insurance companies to supply the fund to pay for those who meet RomneyCare’s subsidy guidelines. The insurance companies simply pass on the extra cost of doing business in the State to the premium payers. Taxing the insurance companies providing health insurance was a deceitful way by Massachuesetts to shove off the cost of the States’ portion of Medicaid onto someone else. What did they do with the money they no longer have to spend on Medicaid?????

This is typical liberal behavior, promising largess at the expense of everyone else but themselves and taking credit for it. It’s one thing for a thief to steal your wallet, it’s downright rubbing the victim’s face in the dirt when the thief turns around spends the money as a gift and then publicly lauds it as a demonstration of their moral superiority.

This opens the next can of worms, that being child custody requirements for the non custodial parent to have a health insurance policy on the child on top of paying child support, which I would assume is required to meet the standards of RomneyCare which in turn disallows a high deductable major medical plan.
