I never got healthcare given to me. In the US you had to give up your child support, which I rarely got, and quit your job. (All things enforceable by law. Back then they were not as good as now about child support. Now they will put a guy(or gal) in jail, take his/her license) Then you can get everything, help with housing, utilities, food stamps and medical.
All I needed was help with food. Their father and I were responsible for his hospital and doctor bills, because I didnt want to give it all up. I knew I could do better. My ex wanted me to do it, I would not. We paid it. I had to take him to court, but it was our responsibility. The sad thing was my children had insurance. They sent the payments to HIM, and he spent it, on his new and improved family. (in his mind) Because I signed the thing at the hospital he tried, to put it on me. WE ended up paying what was not paid, and he had to pay the rest back , as it should be.
Here is the deal, if you have no insurance they will work with you, and lower your bill. Yes it is sometimes hard, but what does not kill you will make you stronger.
Why is it ok to spend 200 a month or more on a cell bill, internet access, pcs, lotto, booz and smokes> but not towards your life. These are not neccesities, they are amenities.
I guess I am living in the 70s because you are not the only person who disagrees with self reliance, but I lived in it, and I am glad I now work more hours than anyone I know, but I dont expect jack
from anyone.
Not to say there are not people who need it. There are. But we provide for those. Because I pay lots of taxes, and I would like to see it spent on defense of our country, help for those who need it, even though that is not in our constitution. SS for those who have been forced to pay it, and are now too old to go get a job. And medicare for those citizens also.
funding losing initiatives, (solyndra) for one, and many many other pork programs, Im not in on.
Medicaid yes to an extent.
My husband has 60% of his heart, and a back problem which requires lifetime morphine, and he is not on disability. I see many, many people with less physical problems than him and they are. Why? Because we can survive without it, its called personal responsibility.
And to answer your question, why would I deny them help for their babies, I do not, BUT if you cannot identify the father or mother to help with the child, then your problems are bigger than healthcare, and it cannot be allowed to continue.
