Not sure where they went in Virginia, but I'm guessing Appalachia, where America's so-called "hillbillies" live.

Here is the thing you need to know about the US system. No one is denied emergency medical care. Most people only need catastrophic health insurance, to cover them from financial devistation. (Cancer, MS, etc.)

$2,500 is not financially devistating. It is just damn inconvienent. But it is not like his teeth just fell apart over night. He most likely failed to brush after every meal and/or floss, did not go for dental cleanings which are cheaper, and could be worked into a budget.

I would not put much stock in the Obama health care plan. The government can't even run a car rebate policy without screwing it up.
