Sebelius: Fewer Babies Born Will Save Health Care Costs

What an idiot! Aside from the fact that responsibly having children is a blessing for parents and none of the government’s business, if she got her wish for significantly reduced birth rates, Social Security will be totally hopelessly doomed in 20 years.

[Scutter]

In addition to a borderline evil statement, she is just plain WRONG. It might save a little money in the short term, but our ponzi-scheme based Social Security system only works if the population is growing. And anyone with a brain knows that the vast majority of health care costs are incurred in the last 10 years of life.

Applying her logic, we could eliminate all costs by eliminating the human race. Everything would be free. :)

Can these people see?

Fewer babies born means fewer people paying into Socialist Insecurity.

Birth-control use among singles means wider spread STD outbreaks. Which leads to HIGHER health care costs.

Then there are the infertility problems from years of taking birth control (starting in puberty) which we can then pick up the costs of.

What is it about homosexuals that makes them anti-breeder?

[mtrott]

With four children, I did my part!

[headstamp 2]

Modern day Eugenics.

[a fool in paradise]

How about more babies and fewer old folks? Would also save on Sosha Security payments.

This was Jocelyn Elder's stated position ("Those old people are just gonna die anyway!") and I suspect the real reason she was fired.

“And how soon will the China ‘one child per family’ policy come from these pigs?”

This would not harm them too much...conservatives and Christians tend to have much larger families then liberals. Our problem is that we also tend to send our children to public schools to learn from the liberals...I just don’t understand why...

Now that home schooling is growing they (the liberals) need to reduce the family size...

[Aria]

There will also be fewer people born to pay taxes to support all the government programs

...and more imported labor - much of which will have a backwards uncivilized religion to which it adheres fanatically.

[codder too]

If her plan works out there will be no one to grow food,manufacture anything, etc.etc... Never could understand why they would want to live in their CREATION.

[ronnie raygun]

If they are willing to kill the unborn how do you think the elderly fair in this

[WorldviewDad]

I would suggest viewing the documentary “Demographic Winter” for a better understanding as to why the liberals would think this way...

[New Jersey Realist]

The LESS babies, the LESS tax base in the future; unless of course the liberals are working overtime on eugenics and the management thereof (*cough* sanger *cough*)

No they’re counting on the illegals to keep them in office where they can then tax the crap out of all the workers.

[HiTech RedNeck]

It’s a trick question of course, and one loaded with assumptions. If a system like Obamacare is assumed, you would want more relatively healthy workers to prop it up for the elderly and ailing (at least if you covet the latter’s votes). That makes it a bigger item in the budget, but that’s not necessarily a measure of how well it fulfills its ostensible purpose. However of course the whole Obamacare system is an abomination and should be abolished yesterday.

Hey, are you demonstrating the absurd by being absurd? Watch out! :-)

As others have posted here, there are lots of ways to save health care costs, but are they moral, and who gets to decide which ones are acceptable to mandate and which ones are not? The govt? They truly do not believe in Freedom of Choice, do they?

[EGPWS]

I'm watching it presently....

Thanks.

[redgolum]

Where do we go to now?

[allmost]

I applied a rule that led to extinction.

[FrdmLvr]

Boy, she’s a regular Margaret Sanger, ain’t she?

[skinkinthegrass]

in HELL: Hitler & Mao-tse ghostly souls, are grinning ear-to-ear w/ that statement.
