[@amandab8433]

Seriously! $5000 for an ambulance ride less that six minutes away from husband's place of work to a hospital. Ambulances are not coverd by most insurance plans. For me it was an hour stay at the emergency room. Total cost was just over $13000. Luckily my copay was only $125. It's no wonder why most bankruptcies are from medical costs here in the US.

[@hrussell9677]

You can afford it if you were on insurance through the Affordable Care Act. No one in the U.S. needs to not have insurance. Some choose not to so they just rely on emergency rooms. This is ridiculous because taxpayers end up paying higher costs because these lazy idiots refuse to pay a low monthly payment for health insurance. There is no excuse for not having health insurance. People on benefits who can’t work don’t even have to pay for it. It is now a myth that Americans have little access to affordable health care. Is it too high priced? Yes, hospitals charge ridiculous amounts for health care but the government should be putting a cap on what is charged.

[@BoDiddlee]

Oh good lord.. My heart goes out to residents of the US regarding medical costs.. Truly it does. It's jaw dropping for most of the rest of the world actually, to see the insanity of medical costs there..

[@sandy420]

There is no point when the fathers have no job either. Once upon a time benefits was meant to be a 'hand up' until you got back on your feet, somewhere along the line benefits became a 'handout' this over time snowballed to a way of life. In the last 30 yrs kids only see there parents not working and happily living on benefits, sadly - "children see, children do" It is now a way of life in the UK and it is now the same in Australia only here they don't get as much as in the UK, which I think is good. I can't speak for the UK but here there are plenty of jobs if you WANT to work, the problem is the majority of unemployed are to choosy, they only want certain work, it's outrageous.

I believe in supporting those who need help. I also believe that there should be a limit to how many years someone can accept the help. Give a new mom two years, train her in while she is getting benefits. Prepare the people for work. I know that limiting funding limits a childs potential, but the ones who ARE WORKING and PAYING taxes shouldnt be the sole support for someone who chooses to have 5-6 children instead of working. I wanted to have two children but realized that I wouldnt be able to afford it, so I only had 1. I worked all through nursing school as well. Took public transportation to from school and my place of work. A work ethic has to be engrained when children are young.
