[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would this system work? That is, who would get paid, for what, and how?[/quote]

Right now, the system gives low income mom's more money when they have another kid.  The amount of money a mom gets varies based on Location and income.

Here's an example:

Kid 1 - mom gets $100/month towards SNAP or whatever program
Kid 2 - mom now gets $200/month
Kid 3 - mom now gets $300/month

Additionally, Mom gets fully covered vision, dental and health care for each kid (paid by taxpayers)
Kids get two Free and Reduced meals each day at school.  (Also paid by taxpayers)

How about this:

Kid 1 - mom gets $100/month
For every month Mom does NOT get pregnant, she gets $125/month extra in benefits to use toward the kid she already has.  It would benefit her own kid as well as herself.  Benefits taxpayers because even though they are paying the Mom, we're still paying less in Medicaid cost, etc.

If she chooses to get pregnant anyway, she goes back to the original benefits and loses the bonus.

We need to provide these mom's an incentive NOT to get pregnant again and again and again.  Right now, we do the opposite.
