Will killing little kids make their parents earn more money or become more responsible? Should all health care be granted according to a moral fitness test? Would Bristol Palin and Levi meet a moral fitness standard for health care for their baby?

It's FORCED health care. Not health care. FORCED health care does not make us free. Regular health care is a great thing for people who need it. But forcing it is not the way to do it. Don't spread the wealth. Spread the work ethic, SO THAT THERE IS MORE WEALTH.

AMERICA IS BROKE! THE END! IDIOT!
3 :
why do welfare king and queens deny health care to their sick children
4 :
Because most Republicans are tired of this country spending money and want to save as much of it was they can they can spend in on their own luxuries.
5 :
They don't want to do it directly but have someone do it for them. And that is as long as it is someone else kid who is sick.
6 :
If we keep adding entitlements we will be broke, and Children already get health care if their parents take them for it.
7 :
Because republicans represent the rich, and the rich don't want coverage for everyone because it'll cut into their profits.
8 :
they don't deny it. but somehow they think that obamacare is "forced" either you had healthcare before and you get it for cheaper.. or you get healthcare when you don't have it. it might be forced but its you have it our you don't. and now everyone does. the only reason ppl didn't have it is because they couldn't afford it. gosh.
9 :
Republicans don't want to hurt anyone, they just don't think things through.
10 :
I have never really understood this. There are MANY people who have done nothing to 'deserve' their position of not being able to afford health care. It's cruel and selfish to act like they have.
11 :
The parents are responsible for the health care of children. Not the government. You may want the government to take over the role of parents in all our lives, but I don't and anyone who believes in freedom does not.
12 :
We do not deny it to sick children we were the ones that passed CHIP so go run away not as your lies are nothing more then a juvenile attempt at an insult
13 :
You'd think they'd have some empathy for them as they are both sick children. PS Isn't making abortions illegal forced health care then? KM you should be the GOP poster child. If you get sick and can't work you have no health care and die? Yeah that's pretty simple to understand, you're a sadistic beiach. Jeeper you're a creeper, typical GOP BS. The Republicans were the only ones who voted against it (just a quick read through, might be off a couple, don't want you dismissing my answer because I was a couple off). This is by name who voted for and against it.

14 :
Oh, boo-hoo! Drama-queen! I have to pay for my kids' coverage, you should have to pay for yours! I shouldn't be forced to pay for the entire freaking country's crack-babies.
15 :
link please
16 :
Here's my deal. If I'm sick and I don't work, I don't get health care. Same thing goes for food. If I'm hungry and I don't work, I don't eat. Is that so difficult to understand?
17 :
Because its FORCED health care! We have millions of Americans unemployed and they want us to buy health insurance. I'd rather have a roof over my head rather than affording health insurance. This Health Care plan should of came after more Americans had jobs. Besides, why should the government take care of your children? You're the parents, so take responsibilities for your sick children.
18 :
No Republican or Democrat wants to or can deny health to anyone, children or adults. So on that line your question is based on a false premise. The way you word it though does make it appear that you are nothing more than an ill informed person that wants to demonize all who do not agree with your uneducated and misguided agenda. Please do a little research prior to making blanket statements and allegations against broad segments of our society.
19 :
WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY!
20 :
I would think that would motivate anyone to get off their a** and take care of business. Republicans want People to be responsible and take care of their own. Is it fair to make someone who takes care of their family to take care of yours as well?
21 :
Why are you denying health care to sick children right now? If you are truly a kind, caring compassionate, generous person, why aren't you setting a good liberal example and finding sick children RIGHT NOW and getting them treated and paying for it with your own money, instead of selfishly sitting in front of your expensive computer and posting stupid lying liberal "questions" on Y!A??? Do you know how many sick children you could save if you would sell your computer and use the money for their health care? Or are you too greedy and selfish to make that personal sacrifice to give heath care to sick children? Because if you don't do that for the sick children, then YOU are denying health care to sick children RIGHT NOW, you sick selfish greedy Dumocrat.
22 :
Obama has killed the American dream for "little kids". They will grow up to be impoverished slaves. His so-called healthcare isn't going to fix anything about healthcare.
23 :
Nope, but democrats sure tried too. Thats why republicans passed the SCHIP State Childrens health Insurance program back in 1998 A program that every single democrat in the House, voted against giving children health insurance. Why do democrats hate children ???
24 :
because as long as they got there health insurance to hell with anyone who doesn't it's there whole ideology. @ consrgreat maybe you should read little about SCHIP the year 1997 It was sponsored by Senator Ted Kennedy and in a partnership with Senator Orrin Hatch who is a Republican, with support coming from First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton during the Clinton administration. During the administration of George W. Bush, two attempts to expand funding for the program failed when Bush vetoed them.
25 :
As I have written before, You people on either side of the questions that try to make a blanket indictment against Republicans as fascist baby killers or Democrats as socialists and communist are attempting to get people to buy into a false premise. You are a pathetic individual and no amount of logic or reasoning could possibly change your narrow uneducated midget mind. I would not even to attempt that. I believe Glenn Beck is absolutely wrong. It is impossible to argue with idiots. Do you fit that shoe??

Did you know that the politicians behind this bill will NOT be participating in it? How ever we will be forced to? Clearly it's not a good plan for them, why is it for me then? I don't wish bad for anyone. Did you know sick kids can already get free health care through Medicaid? I don't want to give the govt. power to decide who gets to see a Dr. and when. Look at other countries who have similar health plans, not good. Just because something has a good sound to it, doesn't mean it's actually good. Read what's in the bill, not just listen to someone tell you what's in it, read it for yourself. You'll understand. My husbands work insurance covers him and our kids at an affordable price. It is outrageous for them to cover me ($940/mo), and that's a govt. job. I don't want you to pay for my medical care. That's my responsibility. When I decide I want it bad enough I'll get a job with insurance or my husband will find a different job, or we'll pay the outrageous price. We have options (Who cares if they're difficult, that's what builds character right?). Because we haven't taken used our options shouldn't mean you have to pay for me, it means I should get up and do something about it. This health care plan isn't for disabled, aged, and children without medical care (who are already insured by Medicaid and Medicare). This is for EVERY person in the U.S. like it or not. Those who afford their own already and those who don't....Oh yeah, except those politicians, they're better than us. What will happen when they FORCE you to have their car insurance or even cars? They'll be able to play on your heartstrings with that one too. They'll tell you how many children were injured or hurt in auto accidents because they were in an unsafe vehicle. How many poor people's homes or property was damaged by an uninsured driver and are just out of their homes or property now. That's not fair either. We have to make choices for ourselves too. When we start giving our choices up to the govt. we lose freedoms, God given rights. We give potential for potential evil people to have control over us. Look at history.
