BO fining parents
| Mon, 10-13-2008 - 1:11am |
I was watching some of the debate from last week online because i missed it. McCain brought up that Obama wants to fine parents who do not have health insurance on their children.
I'm not sure how most people feel about this, but isn't health insurance just as important as shelter, education and food. I definitely think that not insuring your children should fall into the neglect category. People can complain about the cost of health care but if you can't afford having a child, don't have one.
I guess i was wondering what others thought about this.

Our government is notorious for not enforcing mandates, and for not spending money appropriately. Medicare and Medicaid fraud is extensive. Unless great care is taken, there is potential for a lot of government money to be misdirected.
The government is within its right if a parent takes money from it, to fine the parent, if the money taken isn't used as specified.
