Um... As I said...
"I will also admit that the US health care system needs a drastic overhaul, but to look at turd-world countries like Cuba and think that THEY have all the answers... well, I don't even know how to describe the pure idiocy of that notion."
And the topic here was having a baby. In most cases, $15k will cover the entire 9 month pregnancy, including ultrasounds, prenatal visits, etc, etc... Despite what they tell you on MSNBC, the OVERWHELMING majority of Americans already DO have some sort of insurance -- or Medicaid -- to help with (or completely cover) those costs.
And if you are too much of a lazy loser to provide yourself with insurance (or some other way to cover the cost) mark my words carefully...
YOU SHOULD NOT BE HAVING CHILDREN!
If you can't feed 'em, don't breed 'em.
