[Horse with no Name]

very rarely do I see such an egregious injustice and I have to get it off of my chest.
Had a patient this week. Her father is one of the richest men in town. Owns several businesses and properties.
She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. She and her husband live in one of the nicest areas of town.
The gifts brought for this baby were fit for a king. The take-home outfit alone must have cost hundreds of dollars.
Quilts that were worth hundreds, flowers, wreaths, the whole works.
She was truly a beautiful girl. Expensive haircut, fingernail and toenails done, tan, very nice teeth (the kind that aren't cheap).
Anyways...everything about her said "High Maintenance".
So, when I was filling out her paperwork to go home, it was noted on her papers that she was on Medicaid.
First I thought...hmmm...but went on about filling out the papers.
When I took her and her baby down, her husband was driving a brand new Jeep Commander--the one that resembles a Hummer. Still had dealer tags. I know these things aren't cheap.
Anyway, she started bragging about since she was having a baby, she had to trade in her sports car. And oh, by the way, her husband had to buy a new extended cap truck too--since their previous cars weren't "fit" for a family.
I'm sorry--I am as liberal as they come--but I think her being on Medicaid sucks.
People are DYING because they don't have access to healthcare, yet, she can afford not one but TWO "minimum" $30,000 vehicles ...yet can't afford to pick up the tab on having a child or at the very least, paying a monthly insurance payment.
There is just something wrong with that...:just shaking head:
