Ms. Pelosi, Meet A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H!

Before I nodded off last night, I saw on TV that it will cost a minimum of $480,000.00 for hospital care for the octuplets and that's on top of the cost of the invitro process itself. I'm sure this woman has this much money put aside for just such an occasion and won't have to rely on the dole at all.

Kaiser is a non profit hospital that is a HMO.

If she can afford the premiums, it won't cost anyone anything-except the people in the plan..


We DON"T KNOW if she had the procedure done here in the U.S. where repro med is regulated. She live a stroller's push away from the border and she may have done like many people here in the states-gone across the border for treatment-


I think all the panic is pretty PREMATURE (Pun Intended) and we shouldn't count our embryos before they hatch.

Too late, Richard. They hatched last week, all 8 of them.

Boy are you naive as to how medical care is paid for in this country!

[RICHARD]

Next time I give advice to people who ask about medical billing I'll have to charge them for being uninformed.

That's okay. It was worth exactly what I paid for it!

I seriously doubt a woman with 6 kids, unemployed, living with her parents, and lost her home to foreclosure, could afford private insurance premiums. And it won't cost anyone anything??? I guess she won't be seeking public assistance for herself and 14 kids??? Think again!

I worked for Kaiser for 30 years.

Go online and see what the monthly rates are. If anything, to have coverage you have to either be employed by someone who offers the coverage, work for the company or pay for your insurance.

Or be sent to that hospital because it has the best neonatal program in the area.

According to the news conference the day she delivered she was sent to Kaiser in Bellflower because of their neonatal staff.

Are you REALLY suggesting a person who is on public medical insurance isn't sent to the best hospital for their condition?

Perhaps it has been a while since you worked for Kaiser?

How much would you like to bet whether she had Kaiser coverage? Or whether she was sent to Kaiser and they accepted her and agreed to "absorb" much of the cost so that ONLY those who have Kaiser coverage or are taxpayers are on the hook?

At the end of the day, I don't care if she is insured or not, married or not, none of that. I...and those of you who pay taxes, consume water, breath air, or are otherwise alive....will pay for this woman's children.

Why are you shouting? Or is it that you think that we are vision impaired?

One way or another, it's probable that the burden of paying for all of this will fall on the taxpayer or she'll get corporate donations, etc. I, on the other hand, may need another bone graft on my jaw and my insurance company to which I struggle to pay huge premiums every month, won't pay for it. Do you not see the inequity of this or shall I type in bold large fonts in order to get the point across?

Why quote large type fonts?

Now I am deaf.

The government will only pay a portion of this hospitilization.

The rest the company will eat. IT's great PR and the docs are loving it.

You did not address one thing I said, Richard.

Just like Puckstop tried to turn my post into a matter of abortion and the stimulus package, when my issue was tax payer money paying for this fiasco. Don't ya just love when they don't have an answer, they change the subject or tiptoe around it???

My apologies as I obviously did not properly communicate what I was trying to get across.... I simply find it interesting that so many people are all of a sudden PO'ed about this woman getting public assistance.

What do you think the stimulus plan IS? TAXPAYER money going to lots of things WE should not be paying for.

And I DO love it when you all tip toe around or change the subject. Not trying to thread jack, but nobody ever really did answer my questions about the "stimulus" plan put forth by our new President.

And don't worry... I don't actually expect one either. So carry on.

Oh, for good measure...

Then why do you even bother to ask?

Getting back to the subject at hand - babies -

I feel so very sorry for the children of this person. They did not ask to be born into this situation. I wonder what lies ahead of them now.
