National Health Care
We have heard so much from Republican candidates about health care and how bad “Romneycare” in Massachusetts is. Some of us (well, Republicans, anyway) probably believe it. WBUR the NPR station in Massachusetts took a poll to see how the people of Massachusetts liked “Romneycare”. It turns out that, in spite of what Republicans say, [...]
