Health care reform is needed badly but after reading your post and thinking about it this family is probly one of those baby makers that use the ER as a baby setter and a great reason NOT to go to WORK or KEEP a Job!! I have seen people take there kids to busy ERs and sign them in and LEAVE them!! there is nothing Wrong with the kids not a cold or runny nose nothing!!! But it makes for a great way to get out of work on friday and the rest of the weekend even monday or a whole week too! this is probly why they were more concerned with the money issue then the kids health! If the local ER's and Trama centers have made them PAY real MONEY to babyset there kids then they would go to one that would not know that they leave there kids in the ER for hours on end and expect the hospital staff to watch them!! or they droped the kids off the kid gets hurt or sick and they try to sue the hospital because of there neglect! REAL PARENTS dont do this and there for dont have to think about the repercussiones of there past bad actions or the money. All they care about is there childs health and wellbeinging!!
I am all for the parenting classes that you have to pass to have a child! I think there SHOULD be a law that says you have to take a test and PASS it before you can have sex or a child! I think that would stop alot of the "but I didnt know that would make me pregnet!??" I think education would stop alot of std transmittion un wanted babys child abuse and neglect... cut the need for Welfare hud and all that back by 40% and then if people had to take and PASS the test to have a baby BEFORE the get pregnet well that would cut out another 80% for what is left of the welfare and hud and all of that!!!
It would instill and real value to parenting and make people realize that it is a CHOICE weither or not you have a baby and a life time RESPONIBLITY and COMMETMENT!!! not a great way to fit in be cool make money or get attention and you can just wake up and think OOPs I dont want kids anymore here you take them!!!
After weeding out all the baby for money people leeching off the goverment maybe the people who really need the help can get the help they need! there is nothing NOTHING worse then trying to go to college and the finacal aide people tell you to come back when you have a baby then being a diebetic and sick and having no insurenence and you cant quilfy for help with your meds that cost $135 dollars a pen and you use one pen every day and a half and another one that cost $250+ for a vail that you have to replace every two weeks because you have a job and NO F!@#ING KIDS!! Never mind going to a DR that cost $300+ just for the office visit and you know they have to run test to prove that I am a diebetic and not just looking for drugs because the GOOD LORD KNOWS that all the Drug abuser WANT insulin so they can WHAT???????? DIE?????????!!!!!!!! it wont get you high but it can most certainly make you low and kill you!!! so no dr no test no meds and well ER's sure they will see you and lecture you about how your health should be your first prioity above all and tell you if you were more responcible with money you could pay them and get meds and test and all that great stuff that you need every 3 months but well I frivolessly blow my money on rent and gas to work and college (that I have to pay out of pocket to go to because that is my punishment for not having a baby and get books and all that because again i didnt have the first kid much less the second!!!).
yeah that hit a hot button! I am all for helping the elderly and the families that need the help the single folks out there that are 18-65 that cant get help because the help is given first to the pregnet to 18 yo's!!! and I am all for helping the working people make ends meet and those who cant work because of health or re educating people who cant do the job they have been trained to do and done for years but cant do it anymore because of health or even mental and emotional issues. That is fine but STOP THE BABIES FOR PAYCHECK!!!
stepping off the soapbox...for now... I think we should picket the white house down to the local court houses with signs that say babys for paycheck = child abuse and your kids arent the taxpayers responsiblity! you have them you pay for them! No Job No baby No brain NO baby
I am sure you could think of a million other signs we could use to picket! then we should have a holiday for the cf!
