This is a very sad story and it really makes me angry that children who are in dire need of medical attention are being turned away.
I am going to contact the author of the article to see if a fund has been or will be set up for the care of these children's teeth and other medical necessities.
WASHINGTON - Twelve-year-old Deamonte Driver died of a toothache Sunday.
A routine, $80 tooth extraction might have saved him.
If his mother had been insured.
If his family had not lost its Medicaid.
If Medicaid dentists weren't so hard to find.
If his mother hadn't been focused on getting a dentist for his brother, who had six rotted teeth.
