Like... that's a bad thing ?
The current state of the nation has direct linkage with its chronic MS-
Drug dependency.

It is important for Massachusetts residents to lobby
their legislators and school boards to switch school
computers (k-12 and universities etc )to use
Linux on all state owned computers to save money.
This will not happen automatically.
Colleges need new Linux c programming textbooks.

Mandatory health insurance can create an economic
hardship for most middle class individuals. Is
mandatory health insurance what a majority of
Massachusetts voters really want even if premiums
increase ??

Actually Open source software like Open Office is just as good and free.
MS Vista is a failure that has not been accepted by many corporations.
Ubuntu Linux is a great OS and adequate for most home users, colleges
and businesses. You are trying to make health care a trade off for MS
Windows products. This is curious.
Massachusetts started moving to Open source products at least 3 years ago.
Well, that's a good thing to do not be able to afford Microsoft
Software.
Since it's just 50 year old moron IBM dino-ware, rather than
software.

It is extremely unfair for Microsoft to not allow Massachusetts
schools to switch to open source Linux to save money.
Teachers will have to be laid off to pay for Windows
and subsidizing health insurance premiums for poor people.
If Massachusetts voters will force Massachusetts schools
to switch to Linux on all computers then teachers will
be able to keep their jobs.
Ask Microsoft whether it is really right to lay off
teachers in order to rent site liscences for Microsoft
Windows Vista and Microsoft Office Vista in schools.
Is mandatory health insurance for everyone really more
important than teachers keeping their jobs??
Who will provide health care in the future after current
doctors retire and there are no teachers left to teach new doctors?
Mandatory health insurance is very expensive.

If you want to get a handle on health care costs, cap the cost at 6.5% of
all US income and collect the money. For employers, on total salary paid.
For non-wage-earners, on gross income up to a cap.
Then do not allow anyone to be denied service as a condition of license
to practice, and require that 5.9% of all that collected health care money
be spent on primary care workers and equipment - salaries and equipment -
and only 10% may go to overhead in administering the money - management,
accounting, etc.
Then instead of 60% of premiums going to paperwork and buildings and BS,
only 10% will, and 90% will go to direct health care.
And then between removing the staggering present indirect overhead and the
huge costs of delayed care, we won't even need 6.5%.
Hell, add a token $10 waivable co-pay per visit to slow down the lonely.
Guess what - Adding a layer of insurance paperwork only assures increased
costs... that is not news. So why do the Repubes want to increase health
care costs?
Because they lack a grasp of business fundamentals. Overhead costs.
