Man Dies From a Toothache...?!

I'm sorry what?!

This is really sad and just pinpoints the importance of access to health and dental care. This is similar to the death of Deamonte Driver, a young boy from Maryland who succumbed to a fatal brain infection back in 2007.  This boy's family faced obstacles with medicaid, poverty and access to resources which resulted in an unfortunate and preventable death.Here, four years later we see that not much has changed. This young man, Kyle Willis died  from a similar situation. He simply could not afford to purchase the needed medication.
This is just a reminder of the importance of health AND dental insurance and simply access to health and dental care.
