re: Taxpayers may have to cover octuplet mom's costs

I read last night she was "on assistance" with her first four kids, both born withy ferility drugs and two of which have been disabled since birth. I think the doctor who implanted her should have his medical license revoked and go before a board to see why he should still be practising medicine.

In vitro fertilazation isn't cheap, so how she got the money to have it done in the first place is beyond me. Those octuplets are all in incubators for weeks at a massive cost to the taxpayer. (Last time I was in the hospital emergency room without heath insurance, I got a nice hefty bill from them which I am obliged to pay.)

I'd like to see some type of ruling for unmarried mothers. One baby is enough.
Also, mandatory birthcontrol for unwed mothers, or women who can't meet financial ceilings to raise these out of wedlock kids. Some just spit them out and expect the state to pay for them. That's unconscionable to me.
