If your children don't have government health care because of you refusing vaccines, the government will take them? Mandatory Vaccines another advantage of the health care bill?

Government is always right, not
2 :
The government already has stipulations that require kids to get vaccines at a certain age, but I don't think that's part of the healthcare bill. I don't think they take them away either, I think it's a fine.
3 :
Not providing your children with basic medical attention like vaccines is abuse and just cause for removal of the children.
4 :
Vaccines are not full of socialist mercury or tracking devices. They are made by doctors for the benefit of humanity. They should NOT be mandatory but they are a good idea. And if the government ever tried to take my kids, they'd be leaving with a chest full of bullets.
5 :
yes the government will take everyone's baby away. the trouble is that they don't have the infrastructure to house them all. as things stand right now, all of the babies will be put in halfway houses with recovering drug addicts, until they can be adopted.
6 :
That cannot be true. It's not smart to refuse those vaccines unless there is serious cause for concern. For one thing, they are required for college or they were. It didn't work if you got them after a certain age. I've had the vaccines. It's been fine. I think there is a lot of ignorance surrounding this and these parents with concerns should get both sides of the story. I'm a believer in getting the ones that you need. I didn't get the flu shot this year but I have before. I made the decision based on statistics for my life. I felt ok taking the risk.

The governments in most states will take your kids if you don't teach the approved curriculum, even if you home school. We're living under fascism but most don't recognize how little control they really have because the fascism has come in stages and we've had time to adjust.
8 :
In many states you cannot enrol children in schools unless they have had mandatory vaccinations.
9 :
If that is in there, and I don't know whether it is, it won't hold up in court. What makes you think that you cannot turn down vaccines if your children are on government health care? Even in the states where vaccines are required to attend public schools, this cannot be enforced. It is called being a conscientious objector and perfectly defendable in the US. You take your child to a physician for a wellness check and explain your objections and the physician can note them. This is America, people. Matthew, all that is currently required is that your home-schooled children take the state tests (as far as enforcing curriculum, how can they really do that? lol). People--you can defend against this bill without making stuff up. I promise.

this is what everyone in this country wants though..the government to take care of us in every way..never have to pay or do anything for ourselves again. america is just like a giant daycare and instead of being taught personal responsibility and morals we are taught to sue and blame someone else and look where its got us. something had to be done about health care but its not fair that i had to pay $1000 deductible,$190 a month and only get 80% coverage thats a bunch of crap. what they should have done was expanded the states healthcare guidelines to include more people and backup coverage for wen people lose their jobs.

Don't refuse vaccines, nutcase. Your kid brings Measles into the school and it effects my kid. Your right to stupidity doesn't extend to injuring me and mine.

scary isn't it? big government taking over our lives..... and yes vaccinations should be the choice of the parent, I know of more than one child who died from vaccination reactions. It should not be imposed on "every child". Some vaccinations are outdated and impractical. furthermore, the standard vaccinations are lumped together and provide more risk to the child. A parent should have the option to pick and choose. I have personally opted to vaccinate my child but I wish i could have had some of the shots as 3 single shots instead of 1 triple...it causes more risk and illness for the infant.

They try something like that and my family will be leaving the country. There are people on both sides of the fence, but I think a lot of them that are pro-vaccine really haven't been told all the dangers to make an informed decision either way. For those that are for them, just research the ingredients and the side effects of those ingredients. There are those of us who have been vaccinated and have gotten side effects. I almost died after an MMR as a child, of course I already had the measles. It causes asthma. I also now have on and off numbness in the tips of my fingers due to the hepatitis vaccine. My sister almost died after an MMR. Sorry, death is not worth the risk for my children. I am also against abortion and there is aborted fetal tissue in some of the vaccines. And you really have to stop and ask yourself about AIDS, it came from a rhesus monkey, and there is rhesus monkey tissue in some of the vaccines (this last statement is only my opinion, not documented). Check out www.thinktwice.com and read for yourself. It gives things on both sides of the fence. The child that I have that did not get vaccinated is much healthier than the ones that did. She is now 7 and had a stomach virus. No ear infections, fevers, etc that most little children get. Can't say that for my oldest who has problem after problem and she has continued for 25 years of her life. The difference is, my youngest was able to fight off things going around without interference of having to fight off diseases that were put in to her body. And schools cannot refuse your children. There are exemption forms and each state is different on where they get signed or obtained. The school will tell you its the law, but the law is actually that the school holds either a record that the immunizations are up to date or that there is an exemption form on file for each child.
