Something to Chew On: Dental Care in Kentucky
Advocates in Maryland are using dental coverage as a way to push for Medicaid expansion. Those pushing Medicaid expansion almost always bring up the tragic case of Deamonte Driver, the Maryland child who died last year because of a tooth infection. The impression left is that had Deamonte had Medicaid, he would have lived. Of course, they fail to mention that Deamonte was eligible for Medicaid and had it in the past. His mother let it lapse and ignored his infection until it was too late. But I guess the facts shouldn't stand in the way of using a tragic incident to push for expanding the government's reach.
