Does anyone else have a problem with people being on medicaid and having a lot of kids?

No, you are not too sensitive about this. I believe that everyone needs help sometimes, whether they are fortunate enough to get it from their families, or from the state. The key is: being able to pull yourself out of a bad financial situation and give back what you have recieved ( maybe not in a literal sence, but, you know??) Maybe it would be a good idea to start denying these people help. I am sick of seeing and hearing about welfare parents, I could die. I mean, some of these people drive NICE vehicles, are draped in expensive jewelry, wear very nice clothes, and pay for thier food with an EBT card. Sickening. I would like to see them get off their lazy a*s, wake up at 5:00am, and go to fu**in work like the rest of us. I'm with ya on this one- totally.

i am in the same position as you. It's not fair is it!!\nUnfortunately for us, I doubt we will lose weight when we have kids. We will more likely put it on.\n\nI just think that at least we will have an excuse for being fat when we have kids! We can just blame them and make them repay us in hugs!! :)

So far...0 but its because I have too many kids..not because I wouldn't want too.

Exactly, this whole world is becoming overpopulated, why don't they send them back home the minute they catch them, I agree, and also some people have a ton of kid's just for the welfare, why don't they have a limit, like OK after the 3 rd or 4th kid no more help, that may cut down the overpopulation as well, anyway, I could go on and on....God bless

It is greed, the repuglicans are all greedy to the very last one. This country as rich as it is with all the very rich people should have a very red face for not taking care of our own. Excuses like paying somebody to set on their fat ass's and not work is a cop out. Find a way to put these people to work and with a wage and health care good enough to take care of their family's. Do not just condemn them. Health care should be for everybody. The insurance company's need to be taking out of the mix as they are the problem. They are making a huge amounts of money off of the misery of humans. No one should be hungry in this the nation of plenty. An education is a way to life everybody up. It should be a right. It would be good for America as a whole. That is why I vote Democrat as I feel most of them do feel as I do.

It is a very upsetting topic even more so for me I just had a baby and to look at all the things that could happen to her while shes so little is a scary feeling but you have to look at it like this....if its gods will she can go at anytime no amount of medicine or making sure shes sleeping on her back or anything else can really change that .....but as a mother your going to go that extra mile and make sure that you do anything in your power to keep her safe anyway. We tend to not worry about anything unless it hits home insted of thinking of it in terms as we are all family and should help one another out..but people want what they want...spend there money how they want(and to be honest they should its theirs) but to show a little Compassion to someone else should be a bigger reward then that new DVD player or those $200.00 doller shoes but your only one person and your not going to change everyones mind so the best you can do it what you can do and teach your kids to do they same a little help is better then none at all......Is it fair...no...but then again life is not always fair to any of us...there rich people now who have money coming out their ass but still we see them commit suscide and kill others...who was there to help that indvisual? People should take care of people no matter who they are!

That has been proven in studies.  Strange, isn't it?  My daughter will be just finishing hers when I start mine.  It wasn't that way when she first started having them.  When I still had both daughters at home, we all went about the same time.  It was horrible!  LOL\n\nSue

I am poor and worked hard all my life.  Now retired, can't get Medicaid or Medicare because I retired at 62 (after working for 46 years), adopted my grandson because his Mom is ill and Dad deserted them, can't get dental care for him because Medicaid won't pay dentists enough in this great state of Missouri, have $787 a month to live on.  Yet illegals can come in and get all kinds of help. Boy, does the gov't have their priorities screwed up.\n\nMa_isa, what makes you think anyone is joking? And I hardly think spending $10 or $15 a month for the internet is  living large. I personally bought my computer out of my tax refund four years ago while I was still working, before I adopted my grandson. Illegals get all kinds of stuff just handed to them without having to earn any of it. So, my dear, go suck a lemon.\n\nDe_rak, the reason you don't get it is because the illegals do. lol. (Yes, I knew what you meant.  Just couldn't resist the play on words there.)

My Brother.  He works hard and seven kids.    Each one was planned for and wanted very much (some were special-needs adopted).   Both he and his wife are in the medical field and are just plain great people.

Yes, I understand it's just your job. But you should understand, people work and their checks from their jobs are not enough. Besides the kids and things they want to do. You call to remind them everyday, they don't make enough to survive and be happy. So yeah you might have got cursed out a time or two.

Yes, they are. Until we learn to care for the ones already exisitng, we should hold off on creating more of our own. (Just a personal observation.) Perhaps some of these families who like to pop out kid after kid should adopt one (or several).

Some are unable to work.  How is a woman with 3 kids supposed to go out and volunteer when she can't afford daycare?  its a good idea but would run into too many pitfalls.  And "welfare" has checks and balances to make sure you are looking for work.  Have you ever been on "welfare?" its not a happy place.  And not all "welfare" people are lazy either that is a bigotistical remark\n\nGood for you for working 3 jobs to keep your family off of welfare, however if you were to lose your wife and have to take care of your children by yourself 3 jobs would not be possible.  Not everyone has family and if they do often they are in the same boat. childcare assistance is only available for the dirt poor, once you think you are almost looking at getting somewhere, they cut you off and you can no longer afford daycare which means you can no longer work.  not everyone who is on welfare doesn't work.  the majority of people on welfare are working but unfortunately don't get paid enough.  People would rather work than not.  it is very hard to not work and not feed your family you feel horrible and useless and like scum.\nAnd daycare assistance is not available for people who are "volunteering".  i'd like to know why everyone thinks people on "welfare" (by the way its not even called welfare anymore, atleast not in wisconsin) are lazy.  its very stereotypical and definately not the truth\n\nand here in wisconsin we have mandatory work placement/jobsearch programs in place.  why don't you people take a look into the system instead of assuming and believing stereotypes?

I believe in it to TEMPORARY help families but I'm tired of seeing people abuse it.\nLike the people that get it and never work and they keep having babies with different guys etc.\ni see people on welfare that have better shoes and clothes and jewelery then I have. That makes me mad.

I totally agree with you- they should make some sort of rules or make the wife's have a damn good reason about the getting pregant to begin with- pregnancy is not a mistake and baby's arn't exactly cheap or a pet. I give people credit- they are definatly not stupid enough to not know what birth control and condoms are, they are getting pregant for a reason because most of them have like 3 or 4 kids. I mean how can you have 3 or 4 kids by mistake? You'd think they'd learn the first time, but then again I guess the more kids they pop out the more they get from welfare. I know someone who uses her kids as an excuse not to get a job, go to college or even to get her liscence~! I don't know why she claims she cares about those kids if she can't even drive them to the ER if something happens to them!  But yet she can get married- I was about to ask her how she can A) afford it and B) how can you? remember you have kids? She wanted me to help with some of the expenses too- and I don't think that is my place. I totally argree with you on that 100% and I think the government understands there's ALOT of cases of this happening- so why won't they enforce some rules? But then again- it's like asking to bring our gas prices down again. America Land of the Free.

If you are lucky it is better than mine.  I am working on divorce #2.  I know the problem is part me, because I keep picking these freaking losers with no jobs that are mama's boys!  Ohhhh, it is just driving me crazy!  Neither one knows how to pay child support because they don't know the meaning of getting a freaking job!  Therefore I have to work to support my child (not that I mind that I did that before the second one came along).  I never wanted children to begin with, then after my first one I wanted to get my tubes tied.  Here in my state you have to have your husband's permission before deciding to do such.  So it sucks, in today's world women are still needed to request their husbands permission.  WHAT CRAP!

I AGREE WITH YOU TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nthey shouldnt be putting little kids on meds just cause there hyper! i have adhd too but im 13 and actually do need help for it cause i cant pass junior high without it cause im too hyper and cant focus on anything but i heard about moms wanting to put there 3 year olds on meds of adhd and thats just wrong! i think little kids are supposed to be happy and hyper or else there not normal the only reason i would be ok with them putting a kid under ummm probably 4 th grade on meds for that is if the kid is so out of control that there a danger to themself or others cause they dont think at all about whats dangerous thats like the only reason to put a kid under 4th grade or 5th grade on meds. wow im soo happy theres more people then just me that think this. thankyou maybe some parents with little kids will read this and take your advice. :)

When my mother had just given birth to my sister, the nurses tried to wheel her into another room so the doctor could get her tubes tied without her permission. They took one look at our family, and thought she was having kids to put on well fare. We never ever took government aid. My brother is at an Ivy league school now, and I'm applying for college. But that still irks me. This was in 1993 by the way, in a well respected hospital.
