eeeks, that is so scary. i don't understand the 'everybody gets health care in mass' thing, i confess. i mean, it sounds great, but if you can't afford health care and can't get a job at a place that offers it, how can they justify fining you?
my older kid is without health insurance right now. he thinks he's indestructible at 22, and yeah, he's healthy, and just one accident away from financial ruin.
may Hermes Kourotrophos continue to watch over him, and the Luck-Bringer smile upon your family.

I don't quite understand how the law works either, it was a brand new thing when I left the state. I had hoped it would be used to try and strong arm companies that can afford it and just don't do it into changing their minds (and of course I know some places genuinely can't afford it), but if nothing else I guess they would have to make Mass Health much easier to get on. We shall see.
