Palin's daughter cannot marry the father for quite some time for a very good reason. Her baby would not have health insurance. This is a problem nationwide.
It is too bad that all teenage single mothers do not have the healthcare that Palin's daughter has.
Tell that to the hypocritical Sarah Palin...oh yeah, in her mind her unwed daughter should have the best care available and I'm willing to bet the tax payers payed for it. However, the less fortunate in the eyes of Palin and the GOP just have to suffer and hope for the best.
There are already way too many Palins in this world.
Well Bristol is 18 and still in school according to her mother. Therefore I would assume her mother's health insurance will cover the birth and probably the baby until Bristol is out of college or until she reaches 23 years of age. Unless she gets married.
Health insurance will not cover a Grandchild. It will cover the daughter, as long as she is still in school, but not her Grandchild, who will have to be either private pay or whatever child health program the State provides.
I made the Easton hockey stick comment because the baby's daddy played hockey in HS and the baby's grandmother described herself as a hockey mom/pitbull with lipstick. Since Palin named her own children after places and things, I wonder if the babe wasn't named after a company that makes hockey equipment. You're the one who made a comment about the names being odd, not me.
I didn't think the name odd; I said a few posters thought it was. I don't believe I mentioned you said so. Anyway, I apologized if I misconstrued anything you meant about the Easton name.

Yeah...the name isn't too terribly bad, I've definitely heard worse. Unfortunately, his name also sounds like a bad cheesy 80's network news anchors name.
The teenage pregnancy is not false propaganda. Unless, of course, you know that the babe's parents are not unwed teenagers?
No the African comment about the continent. Still the person or persons talking all the smack refused to step up to the plate and instead sit back in the obscurity.
Here is what happens to the babies born to mothers without healthcare.
You are right others don't. However I don't really see how Sarah Palin is all the sudden the target because she has health care as if she runs every insurance company and filed every frivolous lawsuit and through her almight powers increased the rates of 40 million American's health insurance so that you would have the argument you do.

Let me see how qualified of a governor you get by not offering them any compensation to take care of their family or themselves....
What's with all this speculation about who may be covering the costs of the delivery?
Why has no one considered that Todd Palin's insurance is covering said costs?
Todd Palin is a union member. He is a member of the steelworkers' union and has still works part time for BP in the oil fields of the North Slope. He also works summers as a commercial fisherman. Anyone consider that he may have insurance from at least one of those jobs? Did anyone consider that the family may have private health insurance?
Did anyone consider minding their own business?
No, no, no, no, no
Just a guess but I'm thinking the governor's benefits are probably a little better than the Todd's....although I do not know for sure but I bet being the governor allows her health care for life.....*rubs salt in the wounds*

In other words Tripp is eligible for welfare benefits but Bristol is not. Most likely America's tax dollars will go to the care and feeding of another Christian teen, out-of-wedlock birth. You got to love those family values and abstinence pledges. Preach about God all you want but please teach about birth control.

That dumb little broad and her boyfriend should have to pay for the costs of her pregnancy...not taxpayers.
Republican family values= do as I say not as I do. Boy does the Palin family exemplify that.
