He’s currently not working due to a heart problem and was denied Medicaid and other services for Caroline because he could not provide a Social Security number for her. A simple check-up for Caroline at the pediatrician’s office recently cost Kilburn about $700, he said, making him hesitant about going to other doctor’s visits.

This would be just something annoying for this dude if it wasn't for the broken ass system we live in.

Totally normal name -- if the kid's parents were celebrities.

I see the program crushing machine is working as intended.

Carry on

Reminds me of the stories you hear from Korea where the system won't allow for single parents because if you become widowed you are expected to put your children up for adoption. Apparently people cannot get services for their children because the forms won't be accepted without both parents being listed.

• Doesn't officially exist on paper? Check.

• Computer generated code name? Check.

Sounds like an opportunity to train a future international assassin ninja.

Mr. Tertiary Flask Cat must be pretty pissed off. His legacy is threatened!

Real strong Trailer Park Boys vibes here.

Wait until ICE Barbie hears about this!

Just call her "Mo" for short.

The fact that a random paperwork error can keep a two year old from getting medical care is another reason we need more "for All" systems (e.g. Medicare for All)

So apparently a ‘computer generated name’ why does it look like a autocorrect issue with unlike ? Unakite? Unalike? But wtf

I can only imagine the bureaucratic nightmare of fixing this. When my wife and I got married, she took my last name, and when she went to SS to change it, somehow they managed to change her birth-date in the system, as well. I think the antiquated system they were using at the time required the operator to re-type all her information and submit the new record to a DB. Anyway, we didn't find out until the following year when we tried to file our taxes and it was rejected because her birth-date didn't match the file. It took 2 months to get it fixed, and that was just a date that someone had fat-fingered.

I'm surprised they haven't tried to deport her as "not a citizen".

I'm writing that as a joke, but it's unbelievable how it isn't as much of a joke as it should be.

"Una" is a cute name. They should keep it.

Looks like Ricky made it out of Sunnyvale finally and made it all the way to Nebraska. Still not learning from his past mistakes. Classic Ricky.
