So you say: Not everyone in America receives health care, although universal health care is available in other industrialized countries.
Then you say: You are receiving government assistance for your health care. The government paid for your sister's health care, even when she was on drugs. Your children are receiving health care that is paid for by the government.
And you conclude: We should be embarassed about our health care system, even though it has been very helpful to you and your family.
Wow. Talk about ungrateful!

"More than 1.2 million Canadians were unable to find a regular doctor in 2003, and more than twice as many didn't have one because they hadn't looked for one, according to new results from the Canadian Community Health Survey"

"Our results suggest, for the first time, that the more conservative pattern of care with regard to early revascularization in Canada for ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction may have a detrimental effect on long-term survival." (In other words, people with heart attacks fair better in the US than they do in Canada)

"Studies by the Commonwealth Fund found that 24% of Canadians waited 4 hours or more in the emergency room, vs. 12% in the U.S.; 57% waited 4 weeks or more to see a specialist, vs. 23% in the U.S."

"Fifty percent of the Canadian hospital administrators said the average waiting time for a 65-year-old man who requires a routine hip replacement was more than six months; in contrast, not one American hospital administrator reported waiting periods that long. Eighty-six percent of American hospital administrators said the average waiting time was shorter than three weeks; only 3 percent of Canadian hospital administrators said their patients have this brief a wait."

"Quebec’s prohibition was challenged by Jacques Chaoulli, a maverick physician, and George Zeliotis, a patient who had had to wait for a hip transplant. This challenge, rejected by the lower courts, was ultimately upheld by a closely divided Supreme Court of Canada. Three justices concluded that the Quebec statute violated section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which provides that "everyone has a right to life, liberty and security of the person [and cannot] be deprived thereof except in accordance with principles of fundamental justice." These justices determined that the law subjected patients to excessive waits for medical care, infringing on the security of the person without justification."
And there is more where that came from...

Ok, my view and yes, I have read all of this.
Saying Sam and her OH are going to be bad parents, not nice.
Sam, you are 19! What is the rush honey? You should be using this time to be free, have fun with your BF and be a kid. I know you think you want this more then anything, but please, wait, for your sake.
If you don't, good luck, I am sure you will be a great mom. I do think you should at least save up for a couple of months, if not a year.
But either way, please, take care of yourself.

Not beating a dead horse either, but I have to actually agree with Puppy here...
I was 15 when I got pregnant with Johnny. Had him at the age of 16.
I have NEVER had any kind of teenager life. I have never dated, I have never went to football games, college, or a school dance or party. I had to drop out of school to care for my child, while my mother busted her ass to take care of me and my son.
Because I had a child so young, I gave away my teenage life. Those are years I wish I could get back. I have never got to have any kind of fun like that.
I don't regret having my son, but I do have one thing to say.
Having a baby so young.....is like 18 years of imprisonment.
