I have the habit of going to Y!A from other countries, and it is amazing to see how divergent interests are in the various latitudes. Your question is one of those that best highlights the difference. It 's also a question that goes more to reason together instead of responding to solve a problem that in fact you can meet alone!

how do you feel about Bush vetoing the Children Health care bill

how do you feel about Bush vetoing the Children Health care bill?
I feel he is an idiot for doing so. What a president we have, doesn't want a better health care system for low income children! Hey dmanintelect23, (what a dumb name) this isn't YOUR POLLS! ONE THING, THE SENATE HAD ENOUGH VOTES TO OVERRIDE THE VETO, BUT THE HOUSE DIDN'T! CHILDREN IN MY MIND ARE LOW INCOME 5 YEAR OLDS NOT 23 YEAR OLD! MAYBE THAT'S HOW YOU SEE IT, BUT NOT EVERYONE ELSE

Bush is an idiot
2 :
Well, I don't have much respect for this guy, as it is. When he finds something unacceptable, he 'decrees' it as such. But when others find something unacceptable, they are blocking and refusing to do what is right. For example, when the Congress did not pass legislation to give money to the troops without a timetable, which he turned down, he claimed that Congress wasn't doing right and was refusing money to the troops. But HE is the one who turned down the money. I think that quite often Bush blames OTHERS for doing things that are HIS responsibility. That being said, he will say that he is vetoing it for reasons other than giving health care to children. I'm sure he believes that ALL children should have health care. He has other issues as to HOW the health care should be given, and since he is ALWAYS right and can NEVER make a mistake, only his views are acceptable. I believe this country will be MUCH better off, starting Jan 20, 2009!

yeah! give that money to the rich with more tax breaks! They will support the lower class families by donating their money to charity. YEAH RIGHT.

i'm not suprised by it at all. he wants to spend the money in iraq instead.
5 :
you voted for him...TWICE.!!!!..HA HA
6 :
I don't. People just want to get health care for free. Now I know there are some truely poor people out there who need it, but think of the MILLIONS of Americans who are living off of welfare? It's just going to be those people who take it. Because they think they can be lazy and not work. They got money, they were going to get insurence, what's next, their bills?

one more reason for me to hate him
12 :
I think its terrible. He just has war on his mind, I hate that man!
13 :
Once again our president is not concerned with the American public who is most heavily taxed compared to net income ratio. Bush's reasoning? He wanted to protect big name health care org's. This has little or nothing to do w/ this. This bill is to provide medical care for children, not adults. People who don't qualify for medicare but do not make enough or receive health ins. would benefit from this. When will our taxes be used to assist under privileged Americans and not pay for tropical vacations.
14 :
I agree with Piggie8~ People want something for nothing!
15 :
You are not a child at 23. Everyone has access to health CARE but not necessarily health INSURANCE which I think you're thinking of. Why do people think the government can run that sort of program anyway? Because they do so well with the DMV or the post office? possibly the two most inefficient organizations in history? Or because it works so well in other countries like Canada where the well off are sneaking into the US for treatment.

Do you have to pay child support and health insurance in Missouri

Do you have to pay child support and health insurance in Missouri?
Just need to know if the state of Missouri can make you pay child support and health insurance at the same time. So lets say you are already paying child support. And the custodial parent wants to request the noncustodial parent to provide health insurance through the noncustodial parents employer provided health insurance. Can this happen? And if so does the state adjust your child support payment because your paying for health insurance also? The only info I can find is that the state can enforce child support by making you pay for health insurance and some other ways to get the money. But thats if your not paying child support. You see what I'm saying. But I'm confused about all this lol and need some help understanding all these stinking laws. I'm doing this as a favor for my Brother and its giving me a headache. HELP! By the way none of this has been to court. No visitation orders, no nothing. Custodial parent is withholding visitation and has been for awhile now. I'm aware that the custodial parent can do this without any court oreders in affect. Please Help. You must have not even read what I wrote. Please no jokes or of the such. This is a real life problem and it doesn't need that kind of stuff on top of it. Thanks.

GET THAT POOR CHILD OUT OF THAT HELL STATE
2 :
This may get a bit long. You are correct that in Missouri you can get a state order for child support without going through the court. In fact if you applied for any aid programs through the Division of Social Services you will be required to first seek child support. They will order a paternity test to determine if the claimed father is indeed the father. After paternity is established both parents will need to fill out standard income and expense forms and using a standard formula the amount of child support is determined. Normally at that time insurance is considered and if one of the parents has employment with an employer that subscribes to an insurance plan they are required to enroll the child and the monthly payments are figured into the formula. If neither has that option then the order may still be put in place but is not enforced (you can't enroll in what doesn't exist). If that's the case one of three things can happen. The child has no insurance, one parent purchases private insurance and is given credit for it, or once enrollment criteria is met the child can be enrolled in MC+. Since this all may be determined after the initial child support order is entered the parent may need to request an administrative hearing to get the order adjusted. Everything described so far is just dealing with the state bureaucracy on financial issues. They will not deal with custody/visitation issues. Although a lot of young people tend to go the above route or use informal arrangements the best and usually the eventual route is to hire an attorney and go to court. As part of the court process new more comprehensive financial forms will be filed and a court determination on child support and insurance will be reach that will supersede the state's determination. More importantly in my opinion both parents will file a parenting plan and a determination will be reach as to how custody will be shared including visitation and how decisions on schooling and other maters get made. Basic bottom line if your brother pays for insurance it should get figured in his share of support (not necessarily dollar for dollar) but he will probably need to request an administrative hearing or go to court.

Should people convicted of killing a child be put to death regardless of their mental health

Should people convicted of killing a child be put to death regardless of their mental health?
When there is no doubt that they are guilty, i.e. confession or DNA evidence. I'm disgusted by people who claim that a woman who kills her children shoud have her life spared because she was obviously mentally distressed.

No - two rights don't make a wrong and anyway she should just be jailed for life that is much more punishment that instant death could ever bring.
3 :
Yes
4 :
i have two answers for u one is that no one in the world has the right to take life away from another person no matter of how sane they r if they have enough thought to kill a person then they should die them selves. most of the time people fake having mental problems when being charged with murder depending on the state the crime has happened will depend the life of the person.
5 :
Absolutely not.
6 :
No. Mandatory death sentences without taking all facts into consideration is wrong. Zero tolerance policies of any kind usually end up making the enforcers look stupid.
7 :
No. While I do believe that lawyers can put a GREAT BIG SPIN on most peoples mental state, there ARE people who really do have mental problems. I do feel however that this defence is WAY over used, but you can't just give out the death penalty all across the board. We are far to quick to judge and assume in this country.
8 :
it depends on the situiation. Many people and groups are opposed to the dealth penality regardless of mental health. If someone is dangerous and has killed but has a major axis one mental disorder then I think they should be locked up in a mental institution for life. They are still imprisoned and can't leave. It's just a prison for the mentally ill as opposed to a prison for the people who are not mentally ill. Either way they are locked up and can't hurt anyone again.
9 :
I DON'T CARE IF SOMEONE IS SO EVIL THAT THEY COULD HURT OR KILL A CHILD THEY SHOULD HAVE THEIR LIFE TAKEN AWAY SOMETIMES THEY ARE MENTAL BUT THAT MEANS THEY SHOULDN'T BE FREE THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE CRAZY HOUSE THEY STILL SHOULD BE PUNISHEDFOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE
10 :
what is the purpose in killing a mother who has killed her children while being emotionally disturbed (is there a case where she would do this and NOT be mentally ill?)? is it to prevent her from committing the crime again? no, because she's likely incarcerated for life. so in other words, the death penalty in this case is strictly about revenge. and a country's justice system is not supposed to be an agent of revenge. i wonder if, heaven forbid, you were to have a family member who committed such a heinous act, or if YOU were to lose your mind and do something like that, you would feel the same way. don't you think this woman's life is a living hell? why isn't that enough for you?
11 :
Anyone who takes the life of another is insane as far as I'm concerned. If they were in their right frame of mind they wouldn't consider doing something so hainus in the first place! I think they should have to live the rest of their lives in jail because at least by being alive they have to deal with the consequences of their actions. To me,being sentenced to death would be an easy way out for them and they would never be able to see the damage they have caused and they wouldn't have to live with their guilt! Personally I think they should have to deal with the pain and suffering they have caused. On the other hand though,I really have a problem with the overcrowding in prisons and that the taxpayers are paying for them to be able to use the gym or go to their libraries or whatever benefits they have in prison. I think that if you are convicted of a crime that you should lose all of your rights as a citizen.
12 :
If this were the case there would be a lot fewer abortion doctors!
13 :
YES! I will always believe,that when a person kills,or does any kind of harm to a child,that they are mentally ill. Mental illness is usually brought upon during birth. When the child starts showing signs of mental illness,or any kind of abnormality,then the parents should have the child evaluated immediately,instead of sitting back thinking,that the child will grow out of it. Now the child is an adult,who has committed a crime against another child. When these adults go to jail,and start talking to a Psychiatrist,about how they were abused,as children,we can conclude,that the problem started somewhere at home,school,or in the neighborhood,which are the other places mental illness stems from.

Does Medi-Cal (public assistance health/dental coverage) pay for braces if my child needs them

Does Medi-Cal (public assistance health/dental coverage) pay for braces if my child needs them?
I was recently laid off and I can not afford to pay for continued health/dental insurance through my former employers cobra plan but my daughter desperately needs braces. If I apply for medi-cal and am approved does this cover braces or only general dentistry? Thanks for your help!

Can you please add what state you are in? Are you married, divorced or single? Although intrusive, these are the questions they will ask you. When will your daughter turn 18? I will assume you are single/divorced but if you are married, it will be a completely different set of rules but still possible. I am a government worker and am familiar mostly with foster child benefits which may differ a bit. You will have trouble if they find out you are entitled to Cobra benefits. Whatever you do, make sure that they know this or it could be considered fraud. I don't know your financial situation but the extended benefits Cobra offers are so terribly expensive that I suggest you reject the policy altogether if you cannot afford it based on inability to pay and opt for strait Medi-Cal/Medi-Caid or risk depleting your savings (if you even have one) in order to "spend - down" your budget. If you have been laid off, you don't need this burden anyway. Also, where is your daughters father? They will ask this too. If you are not married and depending on your circumstance, he can be liable and court ordered to pay for half the cost of the treatment depending on the severity of your daughters need. 18 is the cut off age unless they are foster children, illegal immigrants, or your daughter becomes pregnant (which I doubt you would want to happen)! - then the cut off age is 19-21 depending on those factors. My son needs braces too and I have dental insurance that I pay a hefty premium for but the co-pay is so high that it will take 2 tax refunds (two years) to save for it. The most Medi-Cal can tell you is "no" in which isn't quite the end of the world just yet... they MUST send you what is called a "Notice of Action" on the back of that notice you will be offered a chance to appeal the decision within 30 day's - do it no matter what and be prepared to provide documentation relevant to her need. If that doesn't work - I don't know how your credit is...sometimes when we struggle it isn't perfect but many places will offer payment plans with less than stellar credit. I don't think braces should be considered "cosmetic" since abnormally placed teeth can cause other dental problems including TMJ and social/ socioeconomic problems later in life - like obtaining employment. Afterall - Medi-Care pays for Viagra. In which I may be greatful for in another 20 years lol ;) Good luck to you and my sympathies go out to you for your job loss. Please keep posted. I am curious to find out what happens. Sorry so long...I would have e-mailed it but you don't accept email. I believe every child and adult should have access to dental/health treatment regardless of income or employment status. Gets me to talking/typing too much girl!

when i think of this, it reminds me of this http://www.theonion.com/content/video/congressman_s_war_hero_son_would its so weird how things are the same obama care will give him what he wants in 4+ years if it ever passes. until then he has to hope his relatives, his new parents or whoever that will end of taking care of the little kid will give him the health care that he loves and wants so much.
5 :
That's great thinking there, lets not do anything so it can continue to happen 4, 10, 20 years from now. Its the conservatives who are demonizing this incident, accusing the child's grandmother of belonging to ACORN in an attempt to diminish her factual story about her daughters death, not to mention that the eleven year old is being called a liar, apparently they want to think that eleven year olds still are babies who don't know whats going on. Kids that age are very sensitive to their parents illnesses and money problems. They are old enough to overhear and understand whats going on. Its true, its a problem and the conservative answer is that it happened to a liberal with a stupid kid. That doesn't change the facts though, it just shows an unfortunate Conservative mindset.
6 :
Didn't hear the story, but the child can get Medicare or the children's health care Bush passed. that program allows a family to make $25,000 and have one child covered and hen like make $35,000 and have three kids covered. In other words single moms or minimum wage dual income families have their children covered. Now the $25,000 means that one or more is covered, even up to 20 or more.
7 :
Where is the Daddy, and in 4 yrs the child will be 15 or 16. I hope the Dem's are not using the as a boo hoo story, like others they use, that is pretty low life if they do. Besides that child can be put on state care anyway, which I am sure the person who is taking care of the child has already done. I doubt a 11 yr old even understands what health care means. Sounds like one of them made up stories like that Kid in Colorado, that was suppose to have been on that giant balloon.

It's not really relevant to applying to college and it's not something you would normally disclose in an application, so no.
2 :
Why would it? Are your child's medical records made public to the college they are applying to? I wouldn't think so.
3 :
My biggest concern is why you are fretting over their future in college when the big issue is, apparently, that they need help NOW... But no, it should not.
4 :
Most to all collages whouldn't care if your child seeks mental health counseling--they just care how smart your child is and how willing they are to learn. You know, Like most schools. And if they do happen to look into that, they shouldn't make a big deal because, well--she DID(is) get(ting) help, right? So they wouldn't have to worry about unusual mental breakdowns that would effect her work.
5 :
No. It wouldn't. In fact getting help with depession is gonna really help your kid's college career, way to go
