Pay pregnant teens to take vitamins

"States should pay pregnant teenagers to take prenatal vitamins and stay healthy so the government avoids expensive costs when babies end up in neonatal intensive care units."

"The state should consider paying girls to not get pregnant"

I don't believe in this.

You have to mend the problem much earlier - which is target the lousy diet habits in kids and families today.
One way to start is to prohibit schools from having vending machines and make sure all the food served is nutritious.
I understand Pelosi's reasoning, and she may be right and I may be wrong. Who could with good conscience be against something that will help the health of newborn and likely lower total costs of healt care?
It's hard.

hey, she's an elected official, you gotta respect her office.

Do you think we should be paying people to take their vitamins? The Luke talked on GB about paying teenage girls to take birth control. I thought it was a cool idea to bring down pregnancy rates and prevent a whole generation of unwed mothers and ppl on welfare.

It's a stupid idea. Pelosi's an idiot. She's not mom to a whole nation of teens. They have parents. She should butt out and quit trying to come up with new and innovative ways of spending more tax dollars.

For $300 per week, I hereby promise not to run out and impregnant any teenage girls. We all know those silly teens can't be trusted to remember something so complicated anyway if it were entrusted to them.

Is this Pelosi's idea? What a complete f'n moron. She is so far to the left its amazing. Now we have to pay people to take the medicines that are typically already paid for anyway. Idiotic.

Pre-natal vitamins are covered under medicaid.

Gingrich: Pay pregnant teens to take vitamins
David Eggert / Associated Press

LANSING -- Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich says Michigan should pay pregnant teenagers to take prenatal vitamins and stay healthy so the government avoids expensive costs when babies end up in neonatal intensive care units.

The Republican also told state senators Wednesday he supports paying poor children to read, and the state should consider paying girls to not get pregnant.

Gingrich is the founder of the Center for Health Transportation.

He says politicians and the media spend too much time focusing on the finances of health care. Gingrich says more attention must be paid to cultural changes such as requiring students to exercise, putting grocery stores in the inner city and incentivizing people to not smoke.

I've been paid to take the vitamins of my choice for years.

I don't know about paying them to take it, ...but I can definitely see the merits of educating them about birth control, and making it available to them. Depriving kids of birth control and teaching abstinence only doesn't do it.

"The state should consider paying girls to not get pregnant"

probably only costs pennies per person and potentially prevents other health care costs later (which would most likely be paid by the state)

That's real cute 240.

But Pelosi is still an idiot nutjob.

And I still don't like the idea--although in reality we're only talking about the state of Michigan, vs. the whole country under your hypothetical Pelosi scenario.

Will it actually save the tax payer money in the long run? Will it reduce Health care costs?

If so... then sure... I'm all for it.

If the health care industry is just going to pocket the cash anyway, then I don't see how it helps the average tax paying citizen, so I would not be a fan.
