My wife and I are proud to say that we had two free babies at BYU thanks to Medicaid. I graduated last December from BYU with a master?s degree in mechanical engineering.
The purpose of being in school is to get a degree quickly and move on. The purpose of being married is to ?multiply and replenish the earth and have joy and rejoicing in your posterity.?
The government is notorious for wasting money. They waste it because they do have a ?magical source of money?; it's called income tax. If more money is needed for more, stop whining about paying for our babies. Your miniscule contribution does nothing for us. We are paying for our babies and two other babies this year alone. We thought we couldn?t afford to have kids while still in school, but we trusted in the Lord. We feel that finding out about government assistance was an answer to prayers.
If you don't have enough faith to obey the first commandment that Adam and Eve were given, then please, keep keeping your pants on, and good luck on your marriage.
