I see both sides of it I guess, they have to pay their employees and for equipment too. I guess I just don't think about it because I have good health insurance.

Many people in the united states don't have good insurance or any insurance at all, so they use the emergency room when they need medical attention. A lot of these bills go unpaid and the hospital loses out on that billing for their time.

I really do understand that but health care has become an outrageous cost especially to those who have to purchase it theirselves. Places like highmark will offer huge discounts to companies but for the uninsured the pay the full bill. Recently when sent a bill from my insurance company on my trigger point injections tehy paid $856 on a bill that I would have paid $2400 for had I no insurance. That is a considerable amount. Something def. needs done to even up the scales folr the little guy. Mine is excellent coverage but a still feel for the others.

Isn't that nuts, for those who can afford it, the insurance company it is cheaper, you would think that they would give the uninsured one a break.

That is the reason why I think going for insurance is necessary, as it saves much money when we get hospitalized during emergencies. Else we end up paying high hospital bills. For making these payments we then take access to pay day loans which comes with high interest rates and pushes us in debt circle.

I agree Anthony but some of these policies costs people upwqrds of 2-300 dollars a month. That really is hard to afford these days. It seems they never offer the working middle class any breaks. I would like to see more come their way.

Wouldn't that be nice, but who would have to pay for it, they would point that burden to the tax payer also. becareful what you wish for unless you can afford to pay more taxes to pick up the tab.

Very true. I have a bro who can't seem to quit knocking people up. Bad thing especially since almost all of them are on welfare or at least getting some type of assistance from them. It is really annoying and I just get pissed.

Does he pay support? You would think that these girls would care enough to be on birth control, I mean if the guy already has one or two kids that he is not living with and taking care of, he can keep it in his pants around me.

Gosh he has like 4 kids. the one was adopted and he onlt has to catch up back support owed to welfare. The other two are on welfare and he pays $400 soem odd dollars for the one and the youngest he pays $300 something. The oldest really gets the bad end of the deal because his mom isn't on welfare and when they take his economic stimulus or tax rebate it always goes to the welfare ones first and the oldest sees nothing at all since she isn't supported by a gov. agency. He was back alot n arrears with her and since she never seen anything from the back support anyway she made a deal with him that if he gave her $500 in cash and $100 a month she would drop everything back support and all. He did and they work things out between them so the oldest doesn't get screwed.

That is good, does he spend time with the oldest one? Sounds like the mother is being cooperative anyway.

Sounds like a lot of people are being careless and messing around without the birth control, I guess if he is gonna play he has to pay. Why don't he use birth control (condoms), it would be more cost effective for him too.

GN He spends alot of time with two of his children. The first one Austin and the other is Destiny. One child was adopted by her grandparents and they are one of those impossible families to deal with. The family tried to stay involved but thay were REALLY wacko people. One minute they would stop in with her and you could visit and the next thi ng they were sending cards and gifts back that we would purchase. I just let it go. I can't be around people like that.
The last and most recent I have never seen except for pics. My sis and I started establishing a relationship when he was born but she started to think we were the first commonwelth bank of america and would ask for the family to come up with money for diapers and milk. She was on WIC and welfare so we knew she was just playing us. Plus we all have our awn bills and kids. Nobody needed an extra responsibility.
ERB. Tried to tell him to keep it covered...
