[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 154643, member: 1697"] I just had to swallow hard to see that what we once knew from experience is now being admitted to by state rep in newspaper. ANd yes, difficult child is now "an adult" - but, it did not make much difference here, when the kids were small and we hit some hard times and got Medicaide, even then, we had enormous difficulty and yes dental? OMG! We DID find a dentist, it was a mere 2 hour drive (compared to the 5 hours for my sons current eye doctor) BUT we went there twice a year for 3 years, and very often when our school district did in school screenings, we would get nasty nasty letters commenting that we NEEDED to go to a dentist, and get a large amont of work done.one time the school screening was the day after our trip to dentist where dentist once again proclaimed all 3 kids cavity free and doing well. Another time easy child broke her top front tooth at school, and it took months before we could get any dentist to even LOOK at her mouth- ER turned her away, her regular medicaide dentist said they were not cleared to fix such problems, and at least 6 other dentists refused to see us simply becuz we did not have dental. We wound up traveling to a further away city, at a homeless dental walk in clinic, arriving by 7 am, first come first served. Our "affluent" county has the idea that if they pretend something is not happening, then it isn't, and if they turn their back on things, those things go away and occur elsewhere..very far away from their own back yard. It is not a charitable county in any way shape or form. Nor is it a very friendly county. Heck, the state of the court system and police etc is yet a whole nother huge mess. <sigh> if only I had known when I fled chicago hoping to get away from chicago/cook county corruption. :-( I am so glad it is only difficult child and not the rest of us anymore who have to cope with Medicaide.
