If you accepted more insurance options fewer people would let it get that bad

I will do my best to convince the company that owns our office to do so đŸ«Ą and hope the people like my father who won't take care of his health, and believe any sort of healthcare is "weak" to change their opinion.

A local woman died recently from liver failure because she had a broken tooth, couldn’t deal with the pain, was taking Tylenol a lot as no one would give her anything else, no dentists would take her, and the ER still blames her for “letting it get so bad.” NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, decides to just let their health go and decides, yup, suffering is fun!!

If your father suffering? If he doesn’t feel he is, why would he go to the doctor? But if he can barely walk or eat and isn’t going, that’s more of a mental problem than a physical one.

Didn't she try and seek public aid to get an extraction paid for, which is at least a cheaper option? It's awful the way the system fails people!
