Well I don't know if they have a trust fund or not, or if/where they get additional money, and I don't care. It does not matter.

These are people who have the ability to take care of their own, regardless. They did not do that.

My only problem with these parents is that they do not provide insurance for their children and make taxpayers do it for them, when they are perfectly able to do so themselves.

Dear teenyelliott,

“These are people who have the ability to take care of their own, regardless. They did not do that.”

Actually, they did that very well, apparently.

They just did it using other people’s money.

Barring evidence of fraud on their part (and I don’t see much evidence of that), they seem to have done it legally and above-board.

The question isn’t whether these parents were taking care of their children. They were.

The question is whether the law should be written to make it possible for them to take care of their children at taxpayers’ expense, especially of folks who likely would have managed to find a way to afford health insurance if this program hadn't been available.
