Celtic, I think people are very generous when it comes to a hard-luck story, not so keen when it appears that someone has decided other people are there to pay her bills so she can have the big family she always wanted. Suleman didn't just get 'oopsed' with a fertility treatment that took too well. She was already deeply in debt, living off her parents and state benefits, and decided she needed more kids to make her happy. The six she already had obviously weren't enough.

It's pretty obvious that she'll never be able to pay back her student loans, or any other debt she has. Her idea that she will go back to school and become a counselor and support her family would be laughable if there weren't 14 kids to deal with. (If you want to make a lot of money, counseling isn't the way to go.)
And if she's so devoted to her kids, how did she afford her obvious plastic surgery? (which she denies.)

I also think part of the anger is timing. With the world financial situation the way it is now, she couldn't have picked a worse time to reveal her financial situation *and* expand her family. The state of California is $40 BILLION dollars in the hole and trying desperately to close the gaps. Suleman's hospital bills, I think, are already being presented to the state of California, not to Medicare, so people are in no mood to deal with an enormous bill that looks like the just the beginning of a lengthy disaster story. They are already coping with layoffs and loss of healthcare and the like. States eventually run out of money for benefits.

I was really mad at her at first but not anymore. First of all, she's not right in the head and I'm not real sure about her parents, who should have cut her off long ago. Despite what people say, the state is not going to just take her kids away because they don't like her. If that were the case, we'd be removing about half the kids from their parents already. At this point I think her circumstances are depressing. I can see no way this is going to go well; there is no one who can handle 14 kids, any number of whom are likely to be special needs. The family will be stressed beyond belief and there's no way out of it.
