“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.

They most certainly did not take care of their own. They simply enrolled their kids in a government funded program that allowed other people to pay their bills.
If you think that is taking care of your own, you and I have very different opinions of what it means to be conservative.
