Dan Savage highlights a healthcare horror story and opines:
Some folks feel that Brian Williams should've asked Rick Perry about Cameron Todd Willingham—a likely innocent man who was executed in Texas after Perry signed his death warrant—by name [Wednesday night]. I wish that everyone on the stage had been asked about Kyle Willis by name. We're the greatest, richest, most awesomest country in the whole history of the entire world and we can't manage to do what every other Western, industrialized, developed country on earth already does: provide health care for all our citizens.
Dan also notes another victim of an untreated tooth, this time involving a 12-year-old boy whose Medicaid coverage had lapsed. The Dish ran some less-horrifying stories of dental woe here, here and here.
