Keep Your Filthy Government Off My Child!
This past week was an eventful week, to say the least. It has been educational as well. I feel that the hospital employees and doctors did a fine job of caring for my girfriend and our new baby. There was only one think I take issue with, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the quality of care they received. With the new baby, I see that the hospital staff makes the assumption that every child will be numbered and signed up for Uncle Sugar's handouts. Refusing completely bewilders them. They just keep pushing and pushing and then saying "Do you mind if I ask why?" Yes, actually I do mind. Why must I sign my child over to the state? When did the assumption that your baby belonged to you and you were going to take care of her by yourself die out in America?

Did they make some kind of argument regarding why you should do it? If so, what did they say?
ReplyDeleteNo, just seemed like they were unsure of what to do next. Maybe they needed some excuse to put on the paperwork as to why there was no signature authorizing a SSN. They kept emphasizing that "it will all be done for you this way". As for trying to get us signed up for WIC and such, they dropped that issue after a while, too. They said that we didn't even need to get her a SSN for a year or so to begin getting the welfare. I think there were two or three tries at each issue by different people.
