I think this case of the 14Kids is fast turning into an example of
"Nationalized Healthcare for the Few".
There's NO doubt (in my mind) that ALL these 14 Kids will be well cared for
(medically) for the rest of their lives - the News and the Public Outcries will
make sure of that.
And WHO's paying?
Good ole Cal-ee-fornia - with a lotta help from ALL of us in the form of
Federal subsidies to California.
Hope ya'll enjoy YOUR share of "our" Kids.

She may not get all the donations, etc. that she hopes. People in this country are getting fed up w/bail outs of all kinds, companies are going out of business and/or laying off people daily at an alarming rate and there may not be the resources to contribute to this woman and her situation. It may not turn out the way she wants it to at all.
Blessings,
Mary
"Time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all." Ecclesiastes 9:11
Obviously Big Brother can't tell a woman how many children she can or can't have, but can't Big Brother tell her how many that she will get public assistance for? Since I've never been on the receiving end of the hand out system, I don't know what limits, if any, that a woman is restricted to.
So before I say any more to upset the minorities here, does anyone know if there is a cap on the amount of money a woman can receive? Does she get a set amount for each child, or is it on a scale and the amount decreases with each additional child?Inquiring minds want to know!!!
ETA - Clarification
When I made reference to "minorities" - I was meaning the one/s here that don't seem to feel that giving away tax money to this person is a big issue. I don't want to start a civil war here on PT!

She doesn't have a job but wants lots of children which
is her dream.
Her dream is fine as long as she can care for and afford to care for them with-out my hard earned money..
At this point I hope she gets lots of $$$ deals so the tax payers do
not have to foot the bill. JMHO
Who was this Dr. anyway who implanted her when she already had 6 children and no job?

We are stuck with the bill, yet all the people who don't want the government or big brother getting involved with the 'sectshul' habits of the North American
Morons aren't happy either way.
Woman want to have birth control covered by BB, but don't want the men to have Viagra?
We want to have kids but don't want BB to control the embryo implantation numbers? " I want three and then tie the tubes!"
You can go to a clinic and get invitro 7 times like this woman has had, but other woman want the insurance to cover the cost of them getting treatments to get pregnant?
EFF THAT.
If you can't do it on your own, do a Angelina, I can't stand that kook, but at least she goes and takes care of the anklebiters from other countries.
This whole scene just shows the frantic labels we have put on motherhood and how 'invalid' women are if they can't become mothers.
We think that it's o.k., like the woman who lost her three kids in an accident then gets in-vitro to replace them, like three new humans will ever take up the room in her heart!
Then we have problems with some idiot who squeezes out eight at once?
-----------------
In the early years of EABs (abortions) you had to go see a shrink, now you can toss out any reason to kill a kid,
THe opposite is true with kids. No woman feels fulfilled unless they spend money trying to get pregnant..
I am tired of spending MY TAX dollars funding fertility clinics for women who are dumb enough to believe that popping out a kid makes them a More Valuable Person in the world.
Ellen Goodman has an opinion piece about this mess. the last paragraph pretty much sums it up -
But right now, a reproductive business that generates so much controversy has produced a remarkable consensus. Infertility treatment for an unemployed, single mother of six? Eight embryos in one womb? There must be a proper word in the medical literature to describe this achievement. I think the word is "nuts."
