ABC news reports the woman who had the octuplets (bringing her total to 14)
that the medical bill is at $700k and will top out over $1 million. Somehow the state gets stuck with the bill. Funny how if I have a bill with a hospital they can take my property or wages....but I digress....
She gets $1900 welfare for the first 6 kids plus $490 a month in food stamps. These numbers will surely climb once she applies for the new kids.
Granted, she's not going to get rich on welfare with 14 mouths to feed.
But she probably will get a movie or book deal. That probably would end her welfare payments, but I don't know.
So the question is,
Should the state recover money if she makes it big in hollywood?
Should somebody go to jail over this, or loose their medical license?
Is this whole thing immoral? Immoral in regards to subjecting kids to this situation, or to the taxpayers who may be burdened with it?
Or is it a blessing and just fine and dandy? Who cares about money when there are cute little babies?
