[QUOTE=RICHARD;2118099]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../[QUOTE]

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.

Wow - just disgusting. The idiot doctor(s) who kept giving her IVF should have to foot the bill.

I can't imagine having to take care of 14 children. Not just financially, the day to day work that goes into caring for children. She sounds like a nutcase to me - and she's studying to be a counselor!

Now she's looking for the gravy train.

Octuplets' Mom Wants $2 Million From Oprah, Media Deals
Monday , February 02, 2009


The mother of octuplets born in California last week is seeking $2 million from media interviews and commercial endorsements to help pay the costs of raising the children, the Times of London reported.

Nadya Suleman, 33, plans a career as a television childcare expert. It was learned last week that she already had six children before giving birth to eight more. She now has 14 children younger than 8 years old.

Although still confined to a Los Angeles hospital bed, Suleman reportedly intends to talk to two influential television hosts this week — media mogul Oprah Winfrey and Diane Sawyer.

Her family has told agents she needs cash from media deals.

Suleman is being deluged with offers for book deals, TV shows and other business proposals, but according to her publicist she hasn't decided what she might do once she leaves the hospital.

On Friday she retained the Killeen Furtney Group public relations firm to handle what company President Joann Killeen says are hundreds of offers arriving daily. They include requests for paid interviews, TV show appearances, book deals and other opportunities.

Killeen says Suleman is "the most sought after mom in the world right now," but she hasn't decided what she'll do next, other than care for her children.

But Suleman's earning power could be diminished by the growing ethical and medical controversies surrounding her octuplets' birth. Experts believe that the unnamed fertility specialists who gave her in vitro fertilization (IVF) should not have implanted so many embryos, and in choosing to carry all eight to term, Suleman ignored guidelines, risking both the babies' health and her own.

Public reaction has been mixed: Many have asked how an unemployed single mother can raise 14 children, as her first six have already strained the family budget. Angela and Ed Suleman, Nadya’s parents, bought her a two-bedroom bungalow in the Los Angeles suburb of Whittier in March 2007, but soon fell on hard times and had to leave their own home.

Gee - isn't that a surprise???

And she plans a career as a t.v. childcare expert???? LMAO!!! Is this woman for real????

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???

[Edwina's Secretary]

I believe in certain circles that would be called passive aggressive behavior.

Before the latest news gets blamed on "the media" let's all take a vow to refuse to watch, read or purchase anything with any stories about or by this woman. "The media" only gives us what we want. Let's tell them we don't want any more attention going to this pathetic creature!

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.

I don't like to debate politics or religion as I admit I am far from an expert on either subject. And don't try to turn that one around and imply that the issue of the octuplets is strictly political, when what I am trying to convey is a matter of ethics.

So here's a couple of thoughts on the stimulus plan:
NO - we should not be paying for this woman's reckless behavior when deserving people are doing without.
NO - we should not continue to bail out big corporations with billions of taxpayer dollars so that they can turn around and reward their top guns with millions in bonuses! (of our money)

Yes - I have a problem with the fairness of these acts. Don't you???

Ya know, I don't necessarily think that we should have a 'limit' to the amount of kids people have, but honestly sometimes I think that people should have to take some kind of test before they are allowed to have kids. Between this loon, and all of the other threads in the doghouse right now about people killing their kids.....ugh
