I don't want universal healthcare because I don't want to pay taxes for some DRUG ADDICT overdosing on WEED or METH.

This kid was probably a pot head before this surgery. He brought it upon himself.

idk, in general it makes more sense trying to treat adults than it does kids because we've already invested considerable resources in getting them to adulthood. And, in many cases, kids born with congenital health defects which become a problem this soon tend to either recur or are continuous. If we cold clean somebody up for a few grand and make them productive, it's a better ROI than paying several hundred thousand to raise a child to adulthood.

Yeah keep saying while the right keeps gutting or try to gut safety nets that help families while also blasting out crappy stereotypes about single parents.

Then the parents should surrender their children to the state so the children can be re-assigned to guardians who are actually capable people. If you can't even take care of yourself, you shouldn't be raising a kid and ultimately that kid will suffer for it.

It's not a stereotype.... stats show that a child is better off with married parents. The left does everything they claim the right does.

Yes, it's very well-documented that two-parent homes are broadly superior to single-parent homes. It's not really a controversial statement.

I hear Americans pay to go see their family doctor to get prescriptions for meds. So they pay to go pay.

I'm impressed that your doctors can apparently diagnose a problem and prescribe something without seeing a patient.

I used to be a fan of the "you should just give it up for adoption" argument against abortion, but that was before I realized that the vast majority of the people using it (myself included) are hypocrites that have no intention of ever adopting themselves and are ignoring how desperately overwhelmed the system already is. So I've stopped taking it seriously unless the person using it is somebody who actually has or is planning to adopt, or is otherwise doing something to significantly improve the quality of foster children's lives. Putting the baby up for adoption doesn't magically fix any concerns about the kid's quality of life, which is the forefront consideration in aborting. It's just a convenient way for people to brush off those concerns while still holding the perceived moral high ground of wanting that kid born at all costs.

Overlooking that the system has hurdles in place which prevent adoption and make it unappealing, the fact that you personally aren't willing to do something shouldn't be used as a justification for something not being done, particularly because adoption IS widely practiced in the US and it's so widely practiced that we take in children from overseas.
