There are Government employees who have a job to give out money. They have to give out more money than last year to ensure they still have a job next year. They don't care if you lie, they don't care if you cheat, they just care to add you to the rolls so there is enough work load to ensure their Government Job next year.
When we had my son, the first night we had an awesome nurse, we were considered a priority case since my wife had an emergency C section and there was a point where they felt the baby had to come out now or he may not make it. Anyway, the second night that great nurse was there, but we had the ****tiest nurse of the night. I went to chat with the good nurse, and I asked her why she wasn't still our nurse. Her answer had me hit the roof. "Well, ya'll are good parents and you don't need me, I have to take care of the babies with other types of parents." Turns out, one mom decided she wanted to go clubbing, so she wasn't admitted to the hospital, but the baby was, so she left her baby with the nurses and went out. Another room had one Momma, one Baby and like 3 potential baby daddy's, nurses didn't mind when I slipped up and let my Conceal Carry slip out from under my shirt as I politely told them to get in their room and shut the door or leave the wing.
The kicker is when we were leaving. The doctors come around and do all the discharges at the same time. I noticed the other people loading up new car seats, diaper bags loaded to the brim with diapers, bottles, wipes, etc., strollers, cases of formula, at minimum $750 worth of stuff. Only thing the farewell crew gave me was a bill. I asked what was going on, and they said that stuff was for the medicaid patients and they were getting food stamps and WIC also. So basically, I paid for the birth of my son, and the birth of the people whom my son is going to have to support when he starts working. The only problem I see is the poor are breeding faster than the middle class, they have an incentive to have a child, I have to budget for number 2. I would have loved to have two kids close together in age, but I would have never been able to afford it, well not unless I quit my job and got on the dole.
