MA Pandemic Response Bill - Unbelievable
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2009 1:35 pm
From the first two paragraphs in the article:
A "pandemic response bill" currently making its way through the Massachusetts state legislature would allow authorities to forcefully quarantine citizens in the event of a health emergency, compel health providers to vaccinate citizens, authorize forceful entry into private dwellings and destruction of citizen property and impose fines on citizens for noncompliance.
If citizens refuse to comply with isolation or quarantine orders in the event of a health emergency, they may be imprisoned for up to 30 days and fined $1,000 per day that the violation continues.

I can't believe US citizens would stand for this, even in a state as liberal as MA. Talk about giving up freedom and Constitutional rights...Bill
