A recent study reveals that 41% of all births in America are paid by Medicaid because the mothers are too poor or have no health insurance. 84% of the births in the District of Columbia were paid by Medicaid. The exact numbers by state are published at womeningovernment.org.
85% of all black children are born out of wedlock, i.e. to single mothers. Presumably most of these are paid by Medicaid. As these black children grow up, 95% of them will depend on food stamps and free school breakfast and lunch.
The mothers very likely will never pay taxes and will depend on a whole range of welfare programs for herself and her child (children). The average spent on the various welfare programs per person is $20,000 per year or $30,000 per family.
The same applies to Hispanic families, to include illegal immigrants. They are able to give birth and raise children by virtue of welfare programs.
This year, the minority birth rate surpassed the birth rate of whites for the first time in history. Arguably, a sizeable majority of those minority births were paid for by Medicaid.
In other words, the mother and/or the child’s’ family was too poor to have a child and will likely remain so for the duration of the child’s time growing up.
Half of all children born in America will depend on government support for child care and medical care in the preschool years, breakfast and lunch at school and after school care and food stamps.
Growing up without a father or in a dysfunctional family has enormous consequences for these children as adults.
They will have problems with sexual identity, crime, drugs and alcohol. If they later have children and raise a family, their families will be just as dysfunctional if not more so.
Society will pay the cost of these adult children in rehab, prison and oather programs. All Americans will suffer from elevated crime rates at every level.
If there ever was a case for abortion, this is it. Medicaid should pay $400 for an abortion and save the government $1 million or more in future costs, per child.
