To me, using Medicaid is getting government assistance. I'm a firm believer that parents should be able to support their kids in ALL aspects of life before popping out more and more and more. There is nothing to be proud of when being on Medicaid. She should use her Medicaid for birth control. Another reason I believe they have it, she hasn't denied it and we know she reads here.
Lol if u had a $100k medical bill and were eligible for medicaid would you be like "nup, no government assistance for me. I'll cover this by myself" don't be stupid. If people can get medic aid of course theyre gonna accept it.[/quote]
Honey, I think your confused. FIRST, it's Medicaid, not medic aid. SECOND, if I have a bill that high, I sure as hell better not be thinking about adding anymore children into my family. If I can't pay my debt or bills, I can't pay for a child. THIRD, in most cases, if you have a bill and suddenly qualify for Medicaid, they most likely aren't going to pay it. There are some cases where it's retroactive. But if I have 100k in medical bills, Medicaid won't just step up an pay it. They will pay the future ones as long as your covered.[/quote]
I wrote medicaid the first time. My phone must have corrected it the second time. I didn't say anything about her having more children. And ok hypothetically, if you child was ill and running up huge bills of hundreds of thousands of dollars that you had no way of paying, and medicaid was going to cover it. Would you turn down the medicaid and pay for it yourself, by going into debt, taking out loans or starting a go fund me etc. Because you are too proud for government assistance? Be real.
