I believe that was misreported. the children are on 500 dollar per annum scholaships.



>There is a valid point that the family chose not to purchase health insurance and yet can pay 20,000 for tuition at a private school? That is not what the program was intented to do. Wish I could afford to pay 20,000/yr for tuition! I do pay for health insurance though. However, I am glad that they received help because the children would have suffered for the lack for forsight of their parents. However, does that mean that our government must provide health insurance and health care to everyone who uses bad judgment and doesn't buy it on their own? If that is the case, then if I elect not to have health insurance, will the government provide it to me for free as well? I don't like the way this is going. It entices people to be irresponsible. However, personally, I am for complete health care (not forced purchasing of government approved health insurance) for all in this country. I haven't seen a good program yet be proposed.
