I was starting to fill out the Mass form to get health insurance (unemployed, looking for work) which is a law now. I saw that it said that if you are awarded money because of accident the state can take some of it. And if you are 55 or older and die the state can get money from your estate. Why? This doesn't happen with regular insurance or welfare, does it? I'm not 55 yet, but still...I don't understand why the state is making me pay for something that will benefit it. Also you have to notify within 10 days after your income changes. What if I get a job with the temp agency and then it ends and something else comes up? I can't find this info online anywhere, so if anyone else in Mass has any answers, I'd be grateful.

Of course I know that they are greedy. I just don't understand how this law could have been passed with these rules.

And I only signed up because it was a law. I wouldn't call fining me $150 a month starting in 2008 something that benefits me.

Greedy, Paula. Greedy.
What makes you think that the taxpayer should pay for something that only benefits YOU?
