At at 6 mos. in the hospital, I'm guessing it's what no lifetime caps and Medicaid assistance looks like too.
But, f(#$ yeah, let's make the healthy and wealthy pay less in taxes!!! WOOT!

What a beautiful boy. I can't imagine how hard it is and how much harder it could be if you had to worry about losing everything to save your child.

He should have been born healthy. His parents need to take some personal responsibility.   |

Dang it that got me misty-eyed. Such a cute kid. Here's to a long, full life for him! And here is to a congress getting their heads out of their ass and finally coming up with a solid healthcare system.

Better tell him to get a good job, not be lazy lounging around in the hospital and be a productive member of society 'cuz our cheeto prez and his dumb fuck republican cronies think he's a non-essential, lesser human being. #maga

Oh that little boy made my heart melt! What an ordeal for his family and him. There are not words strong enough to describe the contempt I have for the idiots supporting Trump care.

I thought you were being serious about people not having kids unless they were prepared for every contingency. I absolutely was being sarcastic. I think it's a good idea to be financially capable to support kids, like, say, feeding them and putting a roof over their heads, but I don't see how anyone outside of the .01% could be prepared for the millions of dollars of medical care kids born with medical problems might be excluded from obtaining coverage if things change. |

I don't see an eye rolling emoticon, hence my confusion. Other people used one, but her post didn't have one. Dex had used one, but her response to Dex doesn't have one which is why I thought she was serious in her response. |

Well hello, don't you know after the repeal that we will only have rich parents with sick children because all the sick children born to poor parents will just have to die. Priorities people, the 1% need another tax break. |

I had thought that between the fact that it was such an outrageous statement and my posting history here that the sarcasm would be apparent, but I apologize for causing you to think that I actually meant it. |

He should have been born healthy. His parents need to take some personal responsibility. I was quoting our VP, Pence. Yes, he really did make the statement about "personal responsibility". Mike Pence |

You know what's scary? That there has to be a sarcasm disclaimer for people to recognize it. Because no matter how crazy or ridiculous an idea is these days, it is not entirely impossible that someone actually supports it.
I remember the old days when you would make a statement like "there is a child slave colony on Mars" and everyone would recognize you as the nutter who probably hadn't recovered from one too many acid trip.
Now you get to appear on TV and NASA has to waste time making a statement to debunk it. Ah, what times we live in.

I had thought that between the fact that it was such an outrageous statement and my posting history here that the sarcasm would be apparent, but I apologize for causing you to think that I actually meant it. As just posted by ppycku it is horrifying that it is plausible that someone would post that statement without it being sarcasm. I think I have a form of pea recognition blindness, so I don't know your posting history at all. With the exception of Gia and the cartoon avatar that engages her I really don't recognize peas by their avatar. Heck even the cartoon avatar I get confused with other cartoon avatars outside of political threads. It it is a sad state of affairs when sarcastic statements like yours can be construed as being serious. I asked because I didn't want to post a big ole long diatribe against your post if you were being sarcastic and I was kind of stunned other peas had let that statement slide. |

That's just irresponsible. ^ Fixed it for you.  Because you can't be forcing health plans to cover birth control and abortion and all those things men don't need. |

That message is spouted by some Peas, and they can't be alone. epeanymous, I am right with you. I cannot believe how many people are so cruel. Their children must all have perfect health, need no specialized educational services, and be perfect in every way. |

I work at a children's hospital. So so so many stories like this one.  I'm not religious, but "there but for the grace of God" go we all! It could be anyone. |

Mike PenceI don't know who you're quoting, but Mike Pence did NOT say his parents need to take some personal responsibility, so you're not quoting Pence. |

for the video...
for the ignoramuses in Congress who care more about their 'agenda' than the people they serve.
