Why does the GOP who take a pro life stance,, not care about the 9 million un-insured children?

None of the GOP Presidential candidates have any plan for health care. It is a well known fact that a child without health insurance entering a hospital has a much higher probability of dying than an insured child. Does life begin at conception and end at birth?

Great point. The fact is that they make their stance on abortion under the name of PRO LIFE. But really, its the most hypocritical label they could attach to themselves. Those who are truly positive about supporting life would not abandon as many as have been in the US...and they CERTAINLY wouldn't support the death penalty.

Pro Life is not an ambiguous term...it means the support of human life. What do the republicans do to prove their support of that stance and value? Nothing....not anything of any import, certainly. They turn their backs on citizens in need, and crusade for the death of those who do not play by their rules. They endorse torture for those who are believed to threaten their precious way of life. Pro Life, indeed! HA!

i am not gonna buy your insurance for you

BUY YOUR OWN INSURANCE AND I WILL BUY MINE


GET A JOB

So let me get this straight... nine million children don't have health insurance, therefore we need to murder the unborn?!? This child won't have health insurance when he's born, therefore we should kill him. Great logic there...

P.S. - George Washington never had health insurance.

In political agenda it does begin and end there. They can end abortion with a simple law, but fixing health care would involve actual work.
And as far as our founding fathers not having health care, people died of curable things, and the local Dr. turned NO ONE away. Even if they couldn't pay.

Universal Health Care doesn't work.

Socialized medicine doesn't work.

Liberals point to the Canada model and they come down here to get treatement.

I got deal if the GOP does come up with a health care program for those 9 million will you give your Pro-choice stance.

Like the guy said above. 9 million children not having insurance is not a good excuse to mutilate babies.

what stats are you talking about

Part of why costs skyrocket is because everyone gets treated when they go to a hospital - insured or not.

What you say is patently false.

As for the 9 million uninsured children, what about the parents that birthed them. Where's their accountability. Is it not their duty as parents to do what it takes to better their situation, to strive to get insurance to cover their kids?

Why do you libs always think the answer is the government - and not your own responsibilities.

get a clue and a life

I discovered the secret to why Repubs are against abortion...

They do not want to miss out on a potential victim.

puh-lease. How very hard is it for you to understand that the government is not responsible for taking care of it's citizen's health care needs? It would only screw it up like it does most things it gets involved in that should be outside its authority. Look at government run schools.

Asking for a life to have a chance at living does not mean that the parents who chose to KEEP the child no longer have an obligation to take responsibility...if they do not want the responsibility of the child then adoption is an option...then THOSE people will be responsible for caring for the child in question...Life only CONTINUES at birth...

Actually Rudy Giuliani does have a plan.

My question to you is why don't the parents of those children care enough to secure their children's health care plans? People can get health care at work and still have no degree and just on-the-job training. They just have to get a job with the federal government. Even the janitors employed with the federal gov't have all the same health care options.

I think parents should care more about their children's well being. It's not right to steal from those who work hard to have more money stolen out of their pay checks to pay for those who don't work hard enough to secure it for themselves. Why have children if you can't take care of them? Also, why is health insurance the only option? Some choose not to get it because they know that they can afford the health care even without the insurance.

I guess nine months of morals is enough for a lifetime?

I am highly dubious as to a statement that states numbers. I can show you a model that will spews out any type of number you wish.
Most likely the uninsured children have parents that work for a living instead of being like the other millions who take handouts from the goverment.
I'll work 40 years of my life while mulittude of others sit back and receive goverment money, food and complete healthcare.
We need a system that helps those who want to make a better life for themselves, not for those who just sit back and expect you and me to support them.
My daughter did her dissertation on the welfare system and 99% of those receiving aid have chosen this as their 'lifestyle.'

First off, I'd like you to show that fact. Show your proof on what you call "fact". Second, my mother is a case worker nurse. She helps the poor get on government assistance and if they're indeed destitute then they get help. My cousin is an ER nurse. No one is turned away and I won't even get started on the burden that illegal Mexicans put on our health care system.

George Carlin put it best: "They're not pro-life. They're ANTI-WOMAN!" It's about trying to tell women what they can and cannot do with their own bodies.

Ok
listen here...
IT IS NOT UP TO OTHER PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU

we already ahve a healthcare system for dependant children
ITS CALLED MEDICAL CARD

And The elderly who cannot take care of themself can get medical card as well

why should WE take care of ABLE bodied Americans?
who make enough to get medical insurance.. they just do not want to pay for it
FAMILIES... who cannot afford health insurance and who's employers DO NOT offer insurance are ALSO eligable for medical card..

Why do you want to force us to take care of you...
my parents took care of me ..
I am taking care of my children...
and guess what its called SELF PAY
i do not pay a insurance company
i pay my medical bills when i go to the Doctors office...

ITS CALLED start your own plan
I have a banck account that i use for medical
i also have one for retirement
a 401k
and i also have a Family Heritage that i pay into for retirment..
My parents used self pay for Doctor visits..
and this is how i was brought up
and i am FINE

I WANT THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF MY POCKET

people when are you gonna see that you cannot depend on other people or your "government"

The only person you can count on is yourself...

people do not get rich by handouts..
you get rich by hard work
dedication a
and determination

be frugile with your money
do not blow it on usless crap!
and you would be suprised how much money you actually do have

why apy a monthly premium on helth insurance?
you do not use it monthly

Instead put back in a savings account what you would pay a insurance company .. see how much money you save!

Blue Cross Blue sheil is $450 a month for family insurance...
yet a doctors visit is only $120... self pay is usually cheaper.
Percription is cheap if you get generics....

and you like the idea of universal healthcare.. WHY
so you can wait 3 months to be treated the flu?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
this is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
not the SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA!

Somehow the Christian Right and the Republicans married. As most couples are they fight. The wife who is against abortion believes what her husband, who only thinks about the bottom buck tells her. But she is having an affair with the Devil and that just might force her to have an abortion and not care about other people.

The GOP should never be called "pro-life". They are pro-fetus, and anti-life after those 9 months are up.

Capitol punishment is not pro-life.

Warmongering is not pro-life.

Letting people die because they cannot receive proper health care is not pro-life.

What a fantastic question! You really nailed the conservative hypocrisy which is full of judgment after judgment. I am so tired of conservative Republicans not caring at ALL about things like health insurance and people that are in poverty. Don't claim to be the "morals" party when you gladly let millions of Americans slip through the cracks. If a person has never lived in a ghetto or has never had many disadvantages, he or she does not understand how difficult it is to raise oneself out of the vicious cycle. As a teacher, the low-income kids often have disastrous home lives where reading and education is not an important part of their culture. According to conservatives, they should all miraculously overcome their situations. In some cases this happens, but it is not as simple as telling people to "just do it..."
