12. Another great initiative in the War on the Poor.
It sounds great to ask the fathers to pay up. I'll bet a few of them can even afford to do so. I'd also bet based on my professional experience that the vast majority of the unwed fathers can't pay. It will be a nice bureaucratic process that will end up costing the state more for enforcement than they will save in Medicaid expenditures, but it will satisfy those who believe in the "welfare queen" mythology.
