This guy is an example of why the government should not be involved in healthcare or childcare.
If we are to believe the story, here's a 'software designer' who makes under $9,500 dollars a year, ($95 dollars or 1% of all wages penalty) with 10 children and a wife. That comes to 182/week or $4.50 hour.
Why on earth would it be in the best interest of the country to force this man (he doesn't realize it but his insurance would be virtually free) into a policy that would offer any preventative care or for that matter even diagnostic testing, paid for by the hardworking, responsible taxpayer. The sooner he dies the better off the country.
Had this guy been financially responsible for the first child, or even the first few children on his own rather than receiving government support (actually tax-payer support) would he have ceased and desisted from having any more poorly bred offspring after the first few crops?
By rewarding poor judgment/decisions we tax good judgment/decisions. Kind of backwards dontcha think?
BTW something stinks about this story IMO.
