I have a cousin that is the total opposite of me. She is on foodstamps, WIC, welfare, Medicaid, you name it, she receives it. She doesnt keep a job for more than 6 months at a time, lied on her Section 8 housing application (it was obviously denied), has two children by two different fathers, both out of wedlock, and a third one by a 3rd unknown father due at the end of next month. Has no job is not eligible for unemployment so has NO income and has no intentions of finding a job, nor is she even looking for one.

Oh and she been pregnant more than 3 times, this would be her 8th or 9th pregnancy. She had 3 abortions that I know of, as well as one miscarriage.

She has promised us she will have her tubes tied and burned after this one. I somehow don't forsee this happening unless someone personally escorts her to the doctor and personally sees that she is not released until the procedure is done. But that is not legal under HIPAA.
