You're kidding, right?  Have you forgotten all the people who were knocked off the plans "they could keep?"  There are still many people without insurance and more to come.

He should have taken the child to the hospital the minute he showed signs of swelling.  I would consider this dad neglectful and selfish.  Shame on him.

I Agree after mom took him the school called dad and told him he had to take him back for hard cast so he did the school nurse should not have had to tell him
