This section on Grants to States for Quality Home Visitation Programs for Families with Young Children and Families Expecting Children is for programs that help low income families that need help or are in situations where the children in the home are malnourished or for new parents that are requesting/needing help (because they are scared, poor and are worried about having to take care of a helpless life). This is giving grant money so educated people can go and help/teach these people that don’t know what they are doing and their kids livelihood is at stake. It's for people that really need help. It’s a good thing!

If health care reform were left to it's own devices there would not be any changes made aside from cost. The cost already outweighs the results and quality of care.

So much of the problem we face is in spending. The medical industry is layered with overspending. I found an article in which 23 different medical professionals from various areas and practices were interviewed, and at least half of them, individually, commented on the gross over spending of the medical, and pharmaceutical industries.

Many people are afraid of regulation, but the medical industry could certainly benefit from a good dose of regulating. And I couldn't agree more with finding a way to assimilate information and communication technologies.

This provision would not stand any well-presented Constitutional challenge.

These Marxist/Fascists are moving as fast as they can with as much "Big Bama" as they can get away with.

It's looking as though George Orwell was a prophet.

There's "Big Bama" in China talking about how they should allow the youth to sit in front of the "telescreen."

And what will happen if you don't let them come into your cottage for parenting skills training?

Why O'Brien will strap you down and give you shots and electroshock thereapy until you comply.

"But, there's nothing you and I can do;

you and I are only two;

what's right and wrong is hard to say;

forget about it for today.

We'll stick our heads into the sand,

just pretend that all is grand

and hope that everything turns out OK."

[...] In addition to abortion coverage, which the bishops have publicly opposed, there is the “end-of-life” coverage, a nice euphemism for potential euthanasia counseling, and the voluntary “Home Visitation Programs for Families with Young Children and Families Expecting Children” in section 440.

Christian and Jen in Oklahoma – you two should get together, get married, have a few kids. Then you can come back here and tells us all how you feel about government workers knocking on your door for the mandatory home inspection, where they'll peruse your home with a critical eye, observing your house-keeping, cleanliness, the childrens' behaviour – which it will be 50:50 odds they do something embarrassing. God help you if one of them gave the other a fat lip or black eye; the inspector will pencil you in for routine visits six months out. This stuff is not just for poor minorities you know (that would be discriminatory) – bad parenting can be found anywhere – even among the educated left.

Honestly, I'm sure you both are/will be good parents; but how much of that big federal government camel's nose do you want under YOUR tent wall?

If studies show that these programs reduce welfare and food stamp dependence, I don't see what the problem is. In fact, I think it is a great idea even reading your article.

Hmmm…seems like this is a needed program. As far as I know, there are no manuals for parenting, nor is it a naturally ingrained skill. Perhaps if some parents learn these skills early on, we won't have to send state workers into homes to intervene when children are abused or neglected. Kudos to the government for looking out for the children…they're our future, you know…
