Would you trust your child's heathcare if it were ran by the government

Would you trust your child's heathcare if it were ran by the government?
If your child's health care was ran by this liberal government would you trust it? With Obama, Biden, Clinton, Reid, and Pelosi in control? HELL NO!!!! My son is 2 1/2 and he doesn't need the government he has his mommy.

Nope. I prefer good health care like the one I have now. I like being able to have my kids seen when they are sick and getting excellent care from doctors who are actually paid well. Furthermore, doctors who accept Medicaid and government health care are very underpaid therefore they don't give a better quality of care. I don't think it would benefit the country to have grossly underpaid doctors giving them care. You get crappy care. I'm sorry for others who cannot afford health care and I wish that health insurances would be held responsible, but that is not the government's job to give them health care. I think the insurance companies are the ones who need to change and make some kind of plan that is affordable for all people. But giving the option of nationalized, government health care is not the answer. *Des- I understand your position (we've been without health care before), but it's still not the government's job to give everyone free health care. Let's make sure insurance companies make it affordable instead. That would be a better use of the government's energy and efforts. Also, say they did make an option for government run health care. Ok fine. But make it only available to LEGAL US Citizens. You've seen what Medicaid has done to our country. Thousands upon thousands to immigrants come to our country because they see opportunity and a non-socialist nation. But they do it illegally. If you can tell me that only US citizens would receive such care, I may feel differently. If the health care is given out by the US government it should go to the US citizens and not to just anyone who wants it. The point of Medicaid is to give care to the *American* people. I'll bet money that had we *required by law* legal citizenship and a real, proven social security number in order for people in the US to get on Medicaid, we would not be in the hole we are in today as far as government assistance/health care goes.

that's great if his mommy is a pediatrician with surgical skills and access to free medications. i personally would prefer government-run healthcare to no healthcare, which is the situation literally millions of american children are in right now. but at any rate, nobody is proposing government-run healthcare. the most that's being proposed is a government-run fallback option, and even that seems rather unlikely. i'm glad you have such a high level of confidence in our current healthcare system, whose gatekeeper is for-profit insurance companies. having had some experience with the downsides of that, i lack your confidence. *lol, bosox, you read my mind. just posted that in a question.

Government run is better than nothing.

I don't know - would you trust the government to educate your child? You do if you send him to public school in a few years.
5 :
Goodness no, I will leave the country before i subject my daughter to government run healthcare. Private sector is def the way to go for my family

Thoughts on teaching breastfeeding education in high school to a Health/Parenting and Child Development class

Thoughts on teaching breastfeeding education in high school to a Health/Parenting and Child Development class?
I know that abstinence and contraception is taught first and foremost, but you're also taught about what your body goes through as you grow. What better way to increase breastfeeding rates in young women and minorities. A whole course wouldn't be necessary, just a guest speaker from the local department of Public Health on one day to educate young adults on the hazards of formula, and the impact is has on them personally, as well as society as a whole. Young men can also benefit from this information, as they can learn to be encouraging and supportive of their partner. How great it would be to debunk myths and change the views of young people who see breastfeeding as "gross." Breastfeeding in the rest of the world isn't considered an obscene act, the U.S. needs to get on the bus.

I do not think that breastfeeding should be a subject of discussion at the high school level. Information and assistance is offered as part of the birth experience at hospitals.

The Internet is a wonderful invention. If you take your subject of your question and add to what you want to know about it, the search engine will do the rest. For example: My subject is Primary and Secondary Education. I want to know where to get certified as a teacher. The search engine result is as follows: Teaching + state certification requirements What you get is this: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Teachinâ€¦ This will work for any subject category. Give it a try and good luck I like that approach better than just saying "Google it" or "Look online".

having both parents around in the same household is a big great thing because children need both role models and to be raised to have good morals
4 :
yes because i have niether paarents and im hatin life
5 :
yes for good or bad; good if they get along great, and set a good example of family life and love, bad if they fight all the time and generate anger , fear and insecurity in the child. its better for the parents to be separate if the affect they have on the child is negative , children learn from example, are aware of the parents true relationship with each other, and are happier if they parents are happier separate than if they stay together and are miserable.
