What a selfish breeder.Those kids are doomed to poverty and my Govt. sponsored handouts.This woman is unmarried and lives with her parents.I'm betting she is also unemployed and without health insurance.
Do us all a favor and tie her tubes before she has a chance to breed again.
Pathetic.

I'm sure the pregnancy and all related health care expenses are being paid for by the state, which is currently $42 Billion dollars in the debt. That said, the hospital will be forced to eat most of the cost because in these cases, Medicaid pays a very low flat rate, and nothing more. The neonatal care alone for each baby will run somewhere in the neighborhood of $800,000 to $1,000,000.

The State Health Department along with Child Protective Services should investigate this woman. Along with her parents, there will now be 17 people living in a modest three bedroom home. And child care experts say the minimum cost of raising that many children is in excess of $2 million.

I guess its none of our business unless the working people have to pay for it but why would she want to take fertility stuff if she already had 6 children.

Maybe this doctor didn't know she already had 6 kids unless he is wacked. Also where did the money come from to pay for the fertility stuff especially since they just filed bankruptcy (if that is true).

This is a mystery. It's mind blowing. This world never cease to surprise and make wonder.

Isn't this the same hospital where the guy who killed his five children, wife and himself used to work before he and his wife were fired? The behavior of the individuals involved in this hospital's management is touching lawlesness.

Noooo...she didn't do it for the money!! Right. Please, any responsible journalists out there, Oprah Winfrey, Diane Sawyer, NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, etc; ignore this insane greedy individual. The more attention she gets, the better it seems for all of us to go out and do something so completely unethical, just to turn a buck. At the expense of innocent children no less.

Truly, where is child protective services? She couldn't afford her first 6, no job, living on the public, so let's get 8 more added to the mix. Where is the responsibility here? She obviously doesn't have any common sense and her parents are totally clueless. Take these babies before they become abused and unloved money makers for 'mommy dearest'.

Well, after seeing that Jon and Kate who have given nothing to the world other then spawning six children at one time have now obtained a 1.3 million dollar estate in PA and a ski condo in Utah on top of fabulous vacations and plastic surgeries galore, do you blame this woman who had little money for trying to get in on some of that pie? I wonder how many more litters are soon to follow? Don't be surprised at the next high ordered multiple birth being announced on the news. Gee, if I'd known taking fertility drugs to the point of hyperstimulating my ovaries and then going forward with sex to produce six or more children would make me wildly wealthy and sought after for church talks at at minimum of $25,000 a pop, donations of designer clothes from Gap, Gymboree, Ann Taylor and so on and on and on, hell, I'd do it too.
Yeah, Jon and Kate Gosselin, role models for living life free and easy!
