REGARDING:
“But what if it is a creatures nature to mindlessly reproduce? if God created a creature a certain way, then that is the way it is, anything else, would be prejudice, to that creature’s nature?

If we’re assuming the Lord’s will, then we will have to accept His order to have dominion over the world. That would include some form of conscious control. After all, you can’t have control if you have no idea what you wish to accomplish.

If we don’t assume the Lord’s will, then we still have to accept the idea that it is up to us to control ourselves.

Either way, wise choices are in order.

REGARDING:
“I personally know of several “families” where the man and woman are not legally married. The man holds down a well paying job while the woman sits home having one baby after another. She files for a single unwed mother and receives Medicaid as well as SSI checks for herself and each child.”

Let’s be honest. She ISN’T married.

The fellow has expressed no interest in supporting his lady friend or his offspring. He hasn’t accepted any form of responsibility. Anything he does good is just out of whatever goodness is in his heart.

He can up and leave at any time and likely will. He may not even be supporting them in any way, rather it is possible he’s taking what she’s given so that she’s poorer than she would be if he weren’t even around at all.

But what if it is a creatures nature to mindlessly reproduce. I would imagine if God created a creature a certain way, then that is the way it is, anything else, would be prejudice, to that creature’s nature. It is what it is. Hello.

Maybe after Medicaide baby number two Medicaid could pay to have baby momma’s tubes tied. If she doesn’t agree then have the rest at home.

But no tube tying at Sacred Heart where tube tying is considered a sin.

Kathy, you are an idiot or either just plain ignorant. Compassion and giving comes from the heart..not from the government. If you see those in need it is your Christian duty to help. I personally know of several “families” where the man and woman are not legally married. The man holds down a well paying job while the woman sits home having one baby after another. She files for a single unwed mother and receives Medicaid as well as SSI checks for herself and each child. Our government as well as our prosperous futures as a free liberated country is going to hell in a handbasket because we have sat back and let it happen. I am all for our government helping the true disabled and our elderly citizens who have worked and payed into this system all their lives to receive their just benefits. Sure…I’m an oldie, but I worked for over forty years to be able to sit back and talk this talk! If we had gotten pregnant in my day, we barely had family to help us,,,much less the government. It’s just called morals and responsibility!

Medicaid has many faces in the way of recipients. You have people that are truly in need of their services. This can be through a physical condition which they have no control over. These people will probably need the service their whole lives. Where the system has been perverted is people using it to subsisdize reproduction. For people to mindlessly reproduce is a burden on their own children and the rest of us. The program was meant to be a safety net not a support system for the irresponsible. Even if a female wants to have her tubes tied, she has to sign the paper 45 days in advance so there is no “coercion”.

It would certainly be better to allow people unfettered access to birth control devices, pills, vasectomies for those who can’t afford them and so on. I can see if someone doesn’t believe in abortion; but, why even let it get to that point?

REGARDING:
“Patients have no limits to emergency room visits, they will have to pay for their own care if they go more than six times a year.

Actually, no they won’t. The bill just won’t be paid. (Under the “blood from a turnip” concept.) It will eventually be written off as bad debt and the hospital will be forced to charge everybody else more money to make up for their loss.

We still get to pay for it but this way we also get to be called greedy and unChristian for complaining.

Why is it that for so many people the minute they hear the words “medicaid” or “welfare” the first thing they think of is that someone receiving it must just be lazy and shiftless?

My point is that many of the individuals on Medicaid are first and foremost folks who are in nursing homes they take up the largest part of Medicaid, secondly persons with disability such as mental retardation, severe disability, yes pregnant women get Medicaid, but it is for the child to survive and give them a half a chance not as a reward.
Jesus would knowing the Medicaid population in Escambia, slap you all down. HE would clarify what charity is, who the little children are and wonder how he could make such selfish self centered people who have no sense of true Christianity in their hearts.
