Don't you have to pay for invitro?

I worked with a woman who had invitro twice which resulted in 2 healthy baby girls. She had to pay $10,000 for the procedure and that was around 10 years ago. So, who paid for this woman to have this procedure done? I question the doc's ethics as well as that woman's sanity. Teenagers are brainless (I know, I was one), but the last thing I wanted was to be pregnant. Most teen pregnancy situations are bought and paid for by the grandparents and it looks like the octuplet mom will be "using" her parents to supplement her WEIRD lifestyle. I married/was involved with 2 men in my life who had 10 kids in the family (what a coincidence, eh?). The kids in those families were screwed up.......probably because the parents had to concentrate on putting food on the table and little if any attention was bestowed upon the children. I also knew a family that had 14 kids, mom and grandmom stayed at home and raised the kids while the dad was off in the world working as a merchant marine - making enough money to support everyone at home - the majority of those kids were well adjusted and successful. And so it goes........

Welfare won't pay for abortion but will pay for invitro? No way!
I want to know where she got the money for this procedure (and for the 6 children prior to this litter). There are many, many people who cannot have children who would make great parents for those 8 newborns.........If she TRULY loved them, she would do what is right for them and not expose them to poverty and neglect.
