Should All Children Get Free Health Care

Should All Children Get Free Health Care?
Should their parent's income REALLY matter? Should a child suffer because their parents make too much money to get free healthcare but not enough to pay it themselves? Please explain why you feel the way you do. Also, do you have kids or any children in your family, or are you one?

No, not all. I believe that there should be free health care for those who need it, so their parents don't have to decide between getting them vaccinated or eating. Those in a lower income household should not be forced to make such decisions. Now, this is not to say the parents in a higher income bracket should not get some help with the children's health care, but they should have to pay some sort of premium that should be based on their income. I think it unfair for those of us who have decided or have had it decided for us not to have children to have to pay for health care for those irresponsible parents who would rather spend their money on luxury items rather than take care of their children. I do not have children, but I have younger nieces and nephews, and I grew up in a single parent home with my little sister, so I know how people can struggle. I've seen it myself.

yes.everyone should.my parents were always in the earn to o much to get aid but not enough to afford it themselves category..employers are cutting programs and many families have 2 parents each working full time ,yet no insurance or very limited coverage with extremely high co pays .neither of our jobs offers dental insurance,for example.we payed over 6,ooo dollars in dental for our family last year,braces etc. out of pocket.we send money for war and so forth,but our own people are paying for impossibly expensive private insurance or are not offered plans at work.im a former nurse,and saw a lot of good but heavily burdened families.we have the capacity to help or cure them,but they havent got the money to pay for it!

We all should get free health care (it isn't free, but paid with taxes) Other countries can do it, there is really no reason we can't as well. Except that some health insurance corporations won't profit as much - that is the only thing stopping it. They post billions in profit - and we get the low life expectancy rates. Not very fair. It would be nice if we actually got something that benefits us for our taxes, it would help he economy and we could stop being so stressed out about our futures.

YES if there parent make less than 15 dollars an hour at forty hour weeks. I am a single parent and I have full insurance on them, I may struggle sometimes but they come first no matter what

Sorry your cancer stricken child needs 24/7 care. Just put him to work and get a better job. Are these people for real?

Good question. Same goes for the death penalty.
2 :
It's true. Why aren't more people up in arms about the high level of infant mortality in the nation? If we have the best medical technology in the world, shouldn't we have the lowest level of infant mortality in the world? Why do people only care about the baby in the womb and not the one that is wanted and breathing?
3 :
Conservatives think that the only children worth protecting are the ones who were born to rich parents.
4 :
Shhh, they will hold the Mom responsible...
5 :
No, they're not for real, they're idiots.
6 :
Babies...they're called babies...and your characterization won't make that fact go away...you nauseate me.
7 :
When cons start debating abortion, gay rights and whether or not gravity is real its because they are grasping at straws and know many Americans will vote on wedge issues.
8 :
Cons donâ€™t really care about fetuses or children. They care about condemning other people for personal choices, especially in areas involving sex.
9 :
If cons cared about children, their "pro-life" label might be accurate, but they don't and it isn't. The difference between a con and an ex-con is that one is on his way into jail while the other is on his way out.

What part of "Private Health Care System" don't you understand? Private: as in non-government Health: the well being of a person Care: to provide services System: an organizational concept to oversee the completion of a task/goal. For YOU,health care seems to be rather important.For ME,a free and unfettered society is important.It's obtuse of you to think that your thoughts or ideas are the only ones that hold merit.
11 :
Cons do care about Children. SCHIP was developed by cons and included in Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America". We care about school lunch programs for the poor, we care about WIC, insuring kids get the proper diet. What we don't care about, is paying for a middle class kids health care, because his parents decided to spend the money on a new boat, or a trip to the Islands. I give to Saint Jude's Children's Hospital. If your kid has Cancer, call them, they will help you. By the way, isn't that the way it's suppose to work, instead of MAKING me pay, why don't you LET me pay, and help who I want to. If you democrats really care about kids and Cancer, give to St. Jude's. Edit: You Dem's crack me up.. Infant mortality includes abortions, stop abortions and that would drop like a lead balloon. As far as cons only care about their wallets. Wrong again, Democrats only care about what's in the CONS wallet, and they want it!
12 :
They don't care about either one actually - only their own wallets and "salvation".
13 :
What ? That 11 year old should just stop smokin dope (bum hippie that he is) and pick up a wrench and get to work. LoL...Cons are pathetic.
14 :
Wow and a fetus isn't a child? You are in need of some remedial biology.
15 :
This is a false premise, and is intellectually dishonest. Health care is currently available to every child who cannot afford it, period. All conservatives want to do is not to provide health care for those who can afford it. This is a logical and fair proposal, and those who would oppose only want the expansion of government to consolidate more power.

If your kids are American Indians, then you and/or your husband must be too. Just go to your tribal council office and they will issue you the required document of indigenous lineage. If your kids are not American Indians, then contact your state's Department of Health and request information on health coverage for minors.
2 :
Usually, if your kid is part indian, they were registered with a tribe at birth. You'd use that registration. If they're part indian, but not registered, you'd have to get genetic testing - or the birth parent who IS registered, and listed on their birth certificate, could then register them. So. Are they registered? Or is a parent registered? Or a grandparent? If none of them are registered, you'll have to do the genetic testing.
3 :
The children must be citizens of a â€œFederally Recognized Tribeâ€ and have a tribal roll number. As with any Nation, genetic testing does not qualify them for citizenship. .
