The right have never been truly pro-life. Once you give birth, as far as they are concerned, you and the child are now a burden unless said child is heir to a massive fortune or historical legacy.
You have two choices: nationalism or individualism.
But Trumpcare is planning to SCRAP it in favour of his own bill but it's not clear whether it will allow insurers to reinstate the ban meaning companies don't have to pay out after medical bills pass a certain ceiling limit!!

Nobody can call themselves a "patriot" or a participant of their nation and have it be true without understanding the need to strengthen the entire country. If the weakest link in the chain is only marginally weaker than the rest, you have the foundation upon which to build something great. The greater good is what matters most, and it is the responsibility of the strong to assimilate and bolster the others, culturally/socially, economically, and so on.
I hear Americans pay to go see their family doctor to get prescriptions for meds. So they pay to go pay. This seems so foreign to me. Why is America so backwards? It's like having a bunch of cavemen to the south of me. They rape pillage and kill for fun and take care of no one but themselves.

A gradual slide back into conservatism through the 1964 election, feds actually addressing racial issues, and the Vietnam War made conservatism viable again. It has been a general slide with a few bumps since then.
safety nets
donates
The right wants the baby taken care of after birth.... by its parents, as it should be.

And if the parents can't take care of it?

Putting the baby up for adoption doesn't magically fix any concerns about the kid's quality of life, which is the forefront consideration in aborting.
A ward of the state is more likely to receive adequate nutrition.
The real solution, however, is over-the-counter contraception that isn't mostly just condoms.
I'd take that a step further and suggest subsidized birth control.
So are we comparing a $200,000 hospital bill that literally none of us could afford to a single woman with a part time job at McDonald's trying to raise 2 kids?

Take that a step further, and make it mandatory as a condition of receiving public assistance.
A more useful course of action is figuring out why the hell it costs $200000, and fixing that.
That's just eugenics, so not so much.
I don't want universal healthcare because I don't want to pay taxes for some DRUG ADDICT overdosing on WEED or METH.
This kid was probably a pot head before this surgery. He brought it upon himself.

That's a bit of a stretch.
Prices are inflated because insurance companies typically negotiate them down by a lot

Almost certainly that.
Bill $100, but only get paid $33, you're billing $300 next time.
However, if you follow inflating costs backwards, the three biggest instigators are the inability to divert emergency care, a drastic increase in malpractice lawsuits (and thus a drastic increase in malpractice insurance costs) in the 90s, and then a string of high-profile lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies soon after (and ongoing).
Tort reform would clear a bunch of this shit up, immediately.
Do you think healthcare should be funded by the Public?

Yeah keep saying while the right keeps gutting or try to gut safety nets that help families while also blasting out crappy stereotypes about single parents.
It's not a stereotype.... stats show that a child is better off with married parents. The left does everything they claim the right does.

I used to be a fan of the "you should just give it up for adoption" argument against abortion, but that was before I realized that the vast majority of the people using it (myself included) are hypocrites that have no intention of ever adopting themselves and are ignoring how desperately overwhelmed the system already is. So I've stopped taking it seriously unless the person using it is somebody who actually has or is planning to adopt, or is otherwise doing something to significantly improve the quality of foster children's lives. Putting the baby up for adoption doesn't magically fix any concerns about the kid's quality of life, which is the forefront consideration in aborting. It's just a convenient way for people to brush off those concerns while still holding the perceived moral high ground of wanting that kid born at all costs.

"You're not allowed to reproduce unless you have $X" is pretty clearly eugenics.
Ummm didn't insurance pay most of that bill? Looks like she only owes $500 for the whole thing or am I misreading?
I'm impressed that your doctors can apparently diagnose a problem and prescribe something without seeing a patient.

They see us just fine. Walk in, get diagnosed, walk out, go pay for meds.
Why would I pay the doctor just to write scribbles on a piece of paper? Honestly when was the last time a family doctor did anything more than write scribbles on a piece of paper?

You're not paying him to write scribbles on a piece of paper. You're paying for him to inspect you, use his decades of expertise to rule out problems until he's found the correct condition, and then prescribe a medication that works best for you given your personal and family history. Frankly, I'm not sure you really understand how doctors work. By your logic, you could scribble something down on a piece of paper yourself and get meds.
