It would have been better if a link to the story was included. As the question is asked I have to say wrong. Not for her intent but for the fact it was against the law and fraudulent. I understand why someone would do this but there were probably better alternatives that weren’t considered. Without know the whole story this is a hard question to answer.

Anyone who says wrong has never taught kids.

She committed theft and fraud. She did the wrong thing for the right reasons.

Insurance fraud

Wrong. Why not rob a bank? Embezzle funds from a charitable organization? Same idea at play here.

I agree her generosity was a morally correct, and socially splendid. One which many people on both sides of the political aisle would not have done. Nevertheless, it is criminal to have done so, and she may be charged as such.

So people can just say "hey, use my insurance!" ???
Well, that's what CA will be if you're an illegal.

The kid could have gone to an urgent care center. They can't turn people away. It gets written off to Medicare. Why didn't the parents take the kid?

Do we know what he needed medical attention for?

Wrong. Who’s going to judge which insurance fraud is acceptable or not?

If she wanted to help the kid she should have cut him a check for the bills

In your example, were parents consulted? Were the parents aware of his condition?
