Massachusetts to require health coverage State will become first to fine the uninsured

The Washington Post

BOSTON — The Massachusetts legislature approved a bill Tuesday that would require all residents to buy health insurance or face legal penalties.

That would make it the first state to tackle the problem of incomplete medical coverage by treating patients the same way it does cars.

What are the possiblities that other states will do the same thing?
I wonder how much the insurance lobbyists paid to get this one passed?
