If your children are older, through the stages of ear infections...

If you can't afford to pay for even ear infections, then you can't afford to have children. There is a simple solution to the problem you describe, one that doesn't involve breeding and then expecting other people to support your offspring.

I do understand that sometimes things come at you from out of the blue and financially stable people fall on hard times, but I suspect that most of those people who don't think that they can afford to pay for treating an ear infection 1) never gave the cost of medical upkeep a thought before they produced their children and 2) are able to find a way to pay for cable TV and beer.
