Why should we? Their parents should pay for it. If you can't afford to take care of a kid, you shouldn't have one.
5 :
Cons would rather give it through corporate welfare.

Some states are doing that. But I think teh people how are affected (the poor) have no voice in politics. So, nobody cares.

Thats simple, beacuse were a capatalistic society and not a socialist state. Its the reason were the greatest nation on this earth. Nice touch notadummy, hooray!!!!
12 :
The premise is wrong. You need to do some research--beyond a simple answers forum. Do you know, for example, that everyone in the USA has access to emergency medical treatment at public hospitals, regardless of ability to pay? And that every county provides free or low-cost clinics open to anyone regardless of ability to pay?
13 :
The politicians are saving it for their next war. It may happen in Switzerland. I think they are the richest country in the world. P.S. They don't have a big army!
14 :
We do! You can go to any hospital and they have to help you if it is an emergancy. Besides that nobody I know wants to spend their tax money on raising someone elses kids for them.

we have enough money to give health care to all of our people BUT the doctors medical companies have enough poultice power to stop it they are making to much money as it is now & they do not want the government telling them what to do,BUT one day the people will get mad & rise up to stop the high cost of healthcare!!!!

America is one of the richest country's in the world yet we have no nationalized medical program officially 15 % of the US how ever children are only 20% as adults are 80 percent of the uninsured. one thing though I suspect is the amount of people who are uninsured or were not insured the full year, as I worked for several company's in the past who insurance plan was a joke and covered next to nothing. so i suspect those of Us who have a real insurance plan are closer to about 60 % so leaving 40% under insured or with no insurance. so the answer is simple there are uncaring people in powerful places and a medical community who knows all to well what medicare pays as our current government seems to be wanting to destroy medicaid /medicare by cutting what it will pay to hospitals so no doctor will take it and keep raising the co pays way beyond the cost the of living so making it unaffordable to be on it. but who did not expect that when the president negotiated the drug bill with the drug company's he did not even try to get a discount on the medications so was a lot higher then the various state Medicaid prices had negotiated in a way he sold out to the drug company's the same way he sold out to Arab oil by owing them big time as they bailed out 3 of Bushes failed oil company's
