[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many uninsured, and very difficult to qualify for medicaid and get appointments once you have medicaid. Surely that cannot be the definition of bad parenting?
My kid had to wait 6 months to see a pediatric dentist because the office made a mistake with the claim and it had to be submitted 3 times before they were paid, and they would not see dc unless the earlier account was paid. And this is with insurance.

If a child is in foster care or was adopted from foster care they receive medical and dental insurance/care.  This isn't about you but about kids who were abused/neglected who need a stable home/family as their parents are unable/unwilling to provide it.  Many have major mental health and/or substance abuse issues on top of other things going on and its not that easy for them to just get it together for their kids sake despite services and lots of gov't help.

Personally, I'd just private pay if my child needed that appt, find a low cost clinic or go to a different dentist who would accept the insurance.  I would not wait six months for a necessary appt.  So, yes, if it was a true need, then there are options, so it would be neglect to wait.[/quote]
