Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 7.14.2002

Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has achieved near celebrity status with his plan to require individuals to purchase insurance or face fines.

And my city may soon make national news if its mayor is successful in implementing a plan promising to provide universal coverage for San Francisco residents.
