Does anyone else find that unacceptable?

The shocking truth is way too many people are having babies and not insured.

I'm surprised Montana is on the list. Too many people don't have any skin in the game. Remember Mitt Romney's statement about the 47% that don't pay any income taxes? It's idiocracy, except it's real. Imagine if abortions were illegal, yikes. Removing financial incentives for additional children for welfare recipients would help correct some of this.

Let them squat in the street and drop a few babies without medical care and we will see how quickly things changed. They might think twice before dropping their panties and getting themselves knocked up. 50% is way too many children born to mothers who are ill prepared.

I find that often these baby mommas are still with the baby daddy and won't get married because they will not be eligible for handouts if they do.

Sad and expensive world we live in.
