It is because she HAS a job, which many Americans would love to have right now.

She is going to quit her job to get the assistance. She is not in need of it as she thinks she is. When people abuse the system, it runs funds down and then the people that truly need the help don't get assistance. If she in fact had lost her job, I would feel differently, but she has a paying job. Why can't she use the money she earns to pay for insurance? If what the posters below are saying is true, this is not a surprise pregnancy, but planned. Shouldn't they have included in their plan to have a baby a way to pay for it? I would love to have another kid, but I would never dream to do it on taxpayer money. Why should someone else have to pay? That is what I wrong with America. Too many feel so entitled to live the life they want yet don't want to work for it.

As Americans....
All I see us doing is "convicting" Natalee and her mother. I just want to know why some come to the defense of the ones that are thought may be guilty and the ones that are actually being held, yet at the same time are so ready to tear apart the victim and her family. I mean come on, let's complain about the mom's make up for crying out loud, or the fact that she is distraught and saying things that aren't right. PLEASE PEOPLE. Get real.
Believe me, when we Americans are
fed up with anything something will be done!! What do you think the original American Revolution was about??? I know, I know....so many Americans have become just "sit on your butts watching TV and let someone else handle it" idiot! But I do have faith in plain ole common horse sense. This is our country and we must do and shall do what is necessary to keep it that way. People will rise up when the situation gets bad enough and quite honestly, I think we are almost there, don't you?
spy on all Americans....did you not...sm
Did you NOT see all the newswires on this very subject about the govt spying via Google's new desktop? Read and then go to Google and read some more!!

Google Copies Your Hard Drive - Government Smiles in Anticipation
Consumers Should Not Use New Google Desktop
San Francisco - Google today announced a new "feature" of its Google Desktop software that greatly increases the risk to consumer privacy. If a consumer chooses to use it, the new "Search Across Computers" feature will store copies of the user's Word documents, PDFs, spreadsheets and other text-based documents on Google's own servers, to enable searching from any one of the user's computers. EFF urges consumers not to use this feature, because it will make their personal data more vulnerable to subpoenas from the government and possibly private litigants, while providing a convenient one-stop-shop for hackers who've obtained a user's Google password.
"Coming on the heels of serious consumer concern about government snooping into Google's search logs, it's shocking that Google expects its users to now trust it with the contents of their personal computers," said EFF Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. "If you use the Search Across Computers feature and don't configure Google Desktop very carefully—and most people won't—Google will have copies of your tax returns, love letters, business records, financial and medical files, and whatever other text-based documents the Desktop software can index. The government could then demand these personal files with only a subpoena rather than the search warrant it would need to seize the same things from your home or business, and in many cases you wouldn't even be notified in time to challenge it. Other litigants—your spouse, your business partners or rivals, whoever—could also try to cut out the middleman (you) and subpoena Google for your files."
The privacy problem arises because the Electronic Communication Privacy Act of 1986, or ECPA, gives only limited privacy protection to emails and other files that are stored with online service providers—much less privacy than the legal protections for the same information when it's on your computer at home. And even that lower level of legal protection could disappear if Google uses your data for marketing purposes. Google says it is not yet scanning the files it copies from your hard drive in order to serve targeted advertising, but it hasn't ruled out the possibility, and Google's current privacy policy appears to allow it.
"This Google product highlights a key privacy problem in the digital age," said Cindy Cohn, EFF's Legal Director. "Many Internet innovations involve storing personal files on a service provider's computer, but under outdated laws, consumers who want to use these new technologies have to surrender their privacy rights. If Google wants consumers to trust it to store copies of personal computer files, emails, search histories and chat logs, and still 'not be evil,' it should stand with EFF and demand that Congress update the privacy laws to better reflect life in the wired world."

You all must be the Americans sm
Do you have any idea how it feels to natives of other countries who speak a different language, when Americans go there and insist that everyone speak English with them? Not even the courtesy of being able to say please or thank you in any language other than English. It is rude. It is selfish and it is no wonder that much of world holds this opinion of Americans...rude, selfish, bigoted and mean!
Not only that, I have been around these boards long enough to notice that MOST OF YOU aren't very articulate. I watch many of those acting as "grammar police" are no better. So many of you cannot spell and will not learn (or even use the spellchecker). Overall, many if not most of your have a rather tenuous grasp of the English language. It is sad to remember that you all are MTs.
please don't condemn ALL americans...sm
PLEASE do NOT condemn ALL Americans for what the Ignorant Americans do......most Americans are NOT this ignorant and would never do something like some of these people *owned* up to doing.....
HE is disrespectful of ALL Americans
She is completely right. She has a right to her opinion and she is free to express it on this board. This man has disgraced us on the world stage and is not deserving of respect in my opinion. He certainly did not respect the 3500+ soldiers that died fighting a trumped up war. He does not respect the American people when he disdains public opinion and pushes his own agenda. This is a free board and as far as I know nobody's children have any desire to read anything on this board.
Most difficult: Americans!
I absolutely cannot get the American accents in which the doc sounds like he/she is running an auction. At least with the ESLs I can get into the rhythm. Not with these guys. Although once I figure out what a grunt or a cough means I make a normal LOL.
I had some decent Americans,
some decent nurses, and then started getting probably the worst dictator on my account. Is 15 blanks a problem? :o}
Opinion of Millions of Americans
Hate to tell you, Bush lover, this is the opinion of millions of Americans..Shrub is a failure, a jerk, an idiot, a warmonger. This country has not been this divided and torn apart since the Vietnam war. Bush was a uniter and compassionate conservative, yeah, right..The guy is a lying murderer and he alienates the world and half of American from him and his followers, who follow blindly, even though we have proof he lied about this illegal war, his advisor, Rove, outed a CIA operative and so much more..The guy is terrible and thank GOD he will be gone in three years.
Americans don't want to work...that is just hogwash.
not that Americans dont want to work, we just
What we deserve, but paid what it actually costs to LIVE in America, to afford the insanely high medical care, insanely high gas, insanely high food, etc. We can never work for less than what we get because we'd then have to move to a different country where we can afford their cost of living. Its all backwards. Thats why CEOs are all slime...they're sitting pretty up there and do not care what goes on because they're comfortable and well taken care of.
What's really sick is when Americans can't understand
plain and simple sarcasm
I tell them they are taking jobs from Americans and...
I do not do business with anyone not in the U.S.A.. I try to say it very nicely, though. I totally resent having my financial records (let alone medical records) in the hands of other countries!
If everyone would refuse to deal with them, U.S. companies would be forced to bring the work back home.
oh yeah, like white americans and others...sm
another one who needs their head examined - blaming all the crime in America on illegal aliens.....you're very sick......
Just look at the predators going after kids - NOT ONE IS EVER FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY - only white trailer park trash oh and priests.......pedophiliacs......
Gang rapes - usually done by white men.......
drugs were around way before the illegal aliens - street gangs were around before illegal aliens (think MAFIA and then Bloods and Crips)........
Geesh - you need to just quit posting is all....ill-educated as far as the street goes, eh?
look in the mirror before you falsly accuse Immigrants!!
Trailer park trash has been on the welfare rolls for 4 decades in this country!! They keep having more babies thinking they can stay on forever. Good thing the welfare laws are changing!!
regarding post below - How not to hire Americans
I sent an e-mail to Hillary Clinton's website with the article and video - visit and leave your comments - democrat or republican - I just want an American to work on this very important topic. Low or middle class - to strengthen it we need our jobs - not to mention the security of our personal information by not off shoring.
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/middleclass/
Now I am off to visit other politicians websites.
Many newbies and even oldies and VR - Americans only.

If it weren't for us Americans, he wouldn't be the star
Huh? Your logic is amusing. She deserves Americans looking for her?
That's just not how its done, as the poster below for eloquently explains!
Ditto. I hope you others realize that most Americans are NOT this way. nm

We have to stand firm for the Americans of the future here!
When the trade agreement was signed with China, the imbalance of imports and exports was not suspected to occur since they have like a trillion residents. Did not happen as they had anticipated.
Think again of the cheap merchandise coming our way. It turns into garbage within two years most often since it isn't built to pass the test of time (unlike higher priced American and German products). So, the tons of imports turn into tons of landfill. Pollution is what is basically ends up being.
And yes, I do believe China will not stop until it is in a position to control the world economy.
I waited for coverage of the currency in China which they took off the world market. This will cause, or should cause, Wal-Mart prices to go up and allow other stores to continue competing (and providing jobs within this country) in the American market.
This is appalling.
Bullfeathers. Americans work the longest hours.
We average 1960+ hours worked per year. Google "Americans work the longest hours". Nobody else can touch us. Provide us with a link proving your theory that Americans don't want to work. Young people want to work as well. Every young person I know of is working on top of going to school fulltime. Maybe it's just the people you know who don't want to work, because I can tell you that everyone in my family has a good work ethic. Google "American youth don't want to work". Oopsy, no hits. Guess that blows your theory.
Gee, I dunno. Maybe since you find Americans fat and arrogant is a start
so we're stuck with your nasty ol' hair-ball self
I hope you realize not all Americans are this nasty and arrogant.
ss
I will only agree with outsourcing and off-shoring when Americans have carte
are going to. Like, the companies that enjoy the protection and luxuries of operating out of the United States -- when those companies work deals with the COUNTRIES they are allowed to send our jobs to SO THAT WE CAN VISIT, MOVE TO, EXPLORE, SHOP IN........when we can go to those very same countries without question, passport, or visa, then I will say I will not fight off-shoring and outsourcing.
But the way it is now......basically we are being held PRISONERS IN OUR OWN COUNTRY while our JOBS ARE GOING OUT THE DOOR.
Americans should be so lucky as to be paid what some Canadian transcriptionists are.
Job security, union jobs, full benefits, 1 year of maternity leave, parental leave, vacation time, sick time, $18 or more an hour...
Glen Beck right now: How not to hire Americans video!!!

Maybe she should have stayed in America where Americans look for drunken teens everyday.
If you go to a foreign country, you are under their laws and their policing. If you don't like it, DON'T TRAVEL OUT OF THE COUNTRY! In the meantime, TEXAS TEAM IS SEARCHING IN ARUBA WITH PERMISSION AND ARE VERY HAPPY WITH COOPERATION FROM ARUBAN GOVERNMENT!
Iranian, Cuban,England,Faster than lightening Americans sm
They're all self-explanatory. The English (from England) speak this way. "This young chap was involved in a fisticuff a fortnight ago full stop." You can't really change too much, but what it means is this young man was involved in a fight (or altercation) two weeks ago (period). Jeez! Full stop means period, it gets on your nerves after two pages of it! Type it like he dictates it and add the period after every "full stop." Period.
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Yep that's it, 4000. Love, love love the zoom
But I feel like a dork typing...every time I try to type But it is coming out as Nut!
I love it too - love doing my nails 5 hours a day and staying awake
Love NOT getting paid while sitting doing my nails too. It's a real turn on.
I tell all my friends to try it -- sit in front of your computer while you have no money to pay your rent and instead do your nails, you get a real buzz down in the pit of your stomach.
Also LOVE LOVE ESCRIPTION and make good money but...
Can I ask how you sit there for 8 hours. Lately, I'm having a motivation problem. When I focus, I can rack up the lines, but lately, I get so easily distracted. My mind wanders and I struggle to get my lines. Any tips on how you stay productive who do you work for?? I work for Transcend.
People either love it or hate it. I personally love it
but I know a lot of people say you cannot make any money on it and will not work on it. I do okay. I'm obviously not getting rich but I am making a living. I found it easier than Dictaphone and faster such in downloading and uploading job and you only have to log on one system and not like Dictaphone where you have to log onto the VPN and then log onto the program. It's always worth a try, but yes, the biggest complaint I hear is that no one can make a living and the cpl isn't that great.
I went back in house and love it. I love not being
secluded. I was working in my PJs, less organized and feel much better now that I get up and dress for work and see people (even those in traffic aren't so bad anymore). I find that I have more of a life now, and my family says that I spend more time with them now.
Working at home served its purpose for a long time; I was ready to go out into the world again now that I have no little ones at home.
BD WONG! I love him! I love all CSI and Law and Orders!
I am so addicted. I actually schedule my job and family around the shows LOL.
Love love love my chair
The arms can be lowered so they won't be in your way, I don't know about the tilt limiter. But I bought my off ebay about 6 years ago and can't do without it. No I do not think you can find another chair that even compares to the aeron, changed my working life completely, no sore back or butt. You won't regret it, but you will if you go for a cheap imitation.
LOL. I love it. I also love the song sm
I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now. Miss the Happy Goodmans!
Repeat after me: I love my job, I love my job. :) nm

You can love a job and still love being home! sm
I got into medical transcription for many reasons. Yes, one was that I wanted to be home with my children, another was that I wanted to be in the medical field, and yet another was this just fits me. Medical terminology and grammar are two things that have always come easily to me. So, this fits. I can work early, early mornings and late nights when they are asleep. Also during afternoon naps. Yeah, doesn't leave a heck of a lot of time for myself, but THAT is a sacrifice I am willing to make, leaving my kids for someone else to raise/care for all day wasn't.
I do not love money but I love what it can buy
for me. I work 4 days a week now and was not bringing home what I wanted every 2 weeks, for some reason that is at least 1,000.00. I just decided to turn up the speed and put my mind to doing at least 3000 lines a day and figured by that should get what I want in the pay line. Worked well for me. I tell people if you want to talk with me call before I go to work, do not let outside influences bother me during my hours. Other than a bathroom break, glass of water, here for the straight 8.
I love Google and I love MTs
Okay, who in their right mind would not only discuss but have passionate opinions about hyphens and apostrophes? I love it!
Anyway, in googling grammar rules I found numerous references that two days' time would not but hyphenated but when used as a modifier like two-day history, it would be.
I remember telling an OB nurse friend of mine about fretting over 38 weeks pregnancy and whether the hyphen belonged in there and she just laughed and said she thinks she would get the point either way. Well harumph!
Love Judge Judy but love Judge Joe
Brown. I often wonder how many of the people involved in Judge Joe's cases have to go home and look up in the dictionary what he said to them. Some of them just have blank faces staring at him when he is giving them a lecture, w/o a clue of what he is actually saying to them.
Love Sci-Fi!
cant wait to see it!
I would love to but
my husband does not think we will make it on the bills (I think he likes all of the extra money I'm making on the side) He is a good guy with a good job and does support my choice since he bought me a new computer and paid for my school, but he also is use to a life style that he leads where he does not worry about money. In my day job I make about 27000.00 a year and I know in my first couple of years I might do close to that if I'm lucky and can land a decent account. Sorry I'm just venting and I'm so tired of working so much, thank god I dont have kids right now I don't have the time to go to the bathroom anymore.
love IT
:
sure do love rather
A true patriot and truth teller..too bad the source he got his truthful information from about Bush running away from his military duties did not have the original reports..Bush, warmonger, military deserter, governor who murdered the most on death row, destroyer of environmental protection, jerk when it comes to global warming, idiot when it comes to understanding evolution..just a plain low IQ idiot..who should never have been president but he had plenty of oil biggies who paid his way and now he is repaying them big time to the detriment of the middle class of America..
the one I love the best is (sm)
the incinuation (sp?) that I don't have a "real" job! I even hear my kids telling their friends that I "don't work, just at home". UHHH, hello? I get a paycheck, don't I! No respect! I just like to think the other folks are jealous! Oh, well, too bad for them!
Love my job
I have an associate's degree in secretarial studies. I ended up working as a secretary in a multispecialty clinic, which led me directly to the transcription department to train as a transcriptionist. I love being home to be there for my children. My husband, on the other hand, has a master's degree in business, and he is the main breadwinner in our family. 
Love rad but...
teaching hospitals tend to have really long reports due to residents and their tendency to TALK A LONG TIME so as to impress the attending physicians. That is my only complaint about it, tho. Its understandable - they're new on the job and all - but its funny when an old-timer doctor gets on and tosses off a CT or MRI in a few sentences while the new resident makes it into a thesis or term paper! ARGH! But overall, I highly recommend rad.
I love my MT job!
I am an IC and absolutely love working for myself! Its not all bad
Okay, how many of you can truly say you still love being an MT?...
I am really close to leaving MT work, but so far the benefits are outweighing the negatives. I just need to hear that someone out there still loves being an MT, works for a good company, and is making enough money to not only pay their bills, but are doing okay. Is anyone out there?
