I doubt that Bristol or the baby's father have the means to provide the health insurance themselves.

I wonder if Sarah Palin has reconsidered what she has done to other mothers and children without healthcare in her state.

I don't think so. I buy my work insurance (State), and this insurance does not cover my grandchildren, nor any of my adult sons and daughters. But it would cover my sons and daughters as long as they are full-time students to the age of 22 or so (I still have to pay for it). I have the option to buy additional coverage for anybody I want as long as it's not from my work insurance. It means that Palin can insure her grandchildren if she wants, but she would have to buy that insurance from another company, without any assistance from the State of Alaska.

Thank GOD she is not anywhere near the White House!

I have no idea of what you are talking about. But the child can have health insurance if Palin wants it to be that way, except that she would have to pay for such an insurance. Now, if the kid was part Native (1/4, 1/2, 1.0), then he would be covered.

And you are making incredible ASSumptions about that.

Provide proof that the taxpayers of Alaska are footing the bill, or just admit that you're obsessing over the Palins in a sick sort of way.

I do agree on one thing..it might not have been a bad idea if Bristol had gotten an abortion.
It's not that simple, and you would know this if you had your own kids. In fact, I grew-up in a very Catholic family, but I still chased after girls any chance I got, without my parents my parents knowing about it. The girls would do the same thing in the middle of the night when her parents were asleep.

It does not matter what you teach your kids or not, because all depends on them when you are not around, and more than likely they follow their impulses when the time comes. Were you aver a kid?

That is true only if the kid resides on or near a tribal reservation that has Indian Health Services on it. I am 1/4th Osage and I cannot go to any hospital or doctor and get "free" medical services. I can however go to IHS in Osage County Oklahoma and get it if I wish (I don't)

This is a non issue in this case. Off topic

I didn't bring it up but it is not a total non issue because Todd Palin is part native and therefore Bristol and the baby would be part native too.

Who says she didn't teach her? Maybe she did, but the girl didn't want to listen.

A parent can preach all day to their kids about drug use and it doesn't stop kids from doing drugs, why do you think sex is any different. Kids will be kids, and they can be rebellious sometimes.

Agreed! Also, we must help provide a healthy pregnancy and baby by ensuring the proper medical care. These kids and their babies should not be punished through refusing to take humane care of them.

What alternative, to providing healthcare to those in need, are you suggesting?
