RE: Abusing Medicaid

In Kenna's blog post titled "Abusing Medicaid", she discusses that the system in which the government is using to financially assist mother's with babies needs to be better improved so that it is not being abused. I absolutely agree with Kenna in her argument. It seems as if everyone and their mom's are on medicaid today. It's great that the government is supporting families who are less fortunate and are in need of help financially, but now, more and more mother's are on medicaid. It's absolutely self-fish on mother's who are abusing the aid because yes, the money if free, but Americans are paying more and more tax dollars to keep the system running. The government should definitely cut down on who they are giving medicaid to. And also the government should lay down stricter rules on who's eligible and who is not.

Kenna states, "I feel that the easiest way to help these girls is to better educate them." I agree with her statement because these girls obviously have screwed up on getting pregnant knowing they can not support a baby. Girls who are having more babies obviously have not learned their lesson the first time. In order to prevent these girls from digging themselves into a deeper whole, the government should mandate a policy in which they are required to get some kind of education. Those who are getting assistance should prove they deserve the aid, instead of having more and more kids so that they are receiving more and more money. It's just plain self-fish on their part.
