Anyone who actually has to pay health insurance premiums knows that health insurance is already too expensive. I am truly tired of politicians forcing working people to carry the burdens of people who won’t take responsibility and find a way to take care of themselves.

From the governor’s MaineCare handouts to his Dirigo fiasco, he continues to demonstrate his total lack of regard for those of us that work our tails off to make ends meet and take personal responsibility for our lives.

It’s time the governor got honest, not only with the residents of this great state, but with himself as well. Dirigo is a bad deal, a dismal failure and should be scrapped altogether. And I am vehemently opposed to this new Dirigo tax. It should be repealed.
