People do what they need to do.
These people DIDNT do what they needed to do. Thats why they need everyone else to bail them out.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
What are they suppose to do???
Not have kids when you are broke, perhaps?
Not broke, 40 grand a year. No one expects their child to be developmentally disabled.
No one expects a lot of shit to happen. Thats why people prepare.
And that still doesnt change the fact these morons would rather FORCE taxpayers, by gaming the system, than ask for donations.
Did you read the article you posted?
This child needs 24-7 care until she dies.
Donations aren't going to pay for everything for the rest of her life.
She will never be able to take care of herself. When her parents die she will need hired people to take care of her. That's not cheap. She will probably end up in a facility.
Donations are fine but they don't last a lifetime.
Expecting someone to save up the millions of dollars it takes to care for the lifetime of a person with the needs their child has is ridiculous. No one can do that. Besides the fact that they didn't know they would have a disabled child.
If that couple lived in my state they would qualify for medicaid. My state joined Obamacare and expanded our medicaid rolls.
Texas didn't so people like this are just out of luck and are forced to do things they don't want to do for the sake of their child.
Expecting them to do something doesn't matter. We aren't dealing with what you want. We are dealing with REALITY. Reality is that there are people who need help from our government because they were born with disabilities.
Add to that fact that Texas is challenging the preexisting conditions protections laws in court so a child like theirs will never be able to have insurance. No one will sell it to her. She was preexisting condition from birth.
All of this just points out how stupid it is to not have proper health care coverage for the public. If insurance companies are going to get the legal right to deny people insurance then the same government that made that possible has to provide an alternative. Which is a form of medicaid.
Let me ask you this, if you have children did you save up the millions of dollars you would have needed to care for a disabled child? Because if you don't do what you demand others to do then you're just a hypocrite and used that demand as an excuse to whine about a person who actually needs help and can't get it.
