UNFORTUNATELY, THE LOW INCOME FAMILIES IN SOUTH GEORGIA HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DEPEND ON THE GOV. FOR DENTAL/MEDICAID ASSISTANCE! THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE BLACK, AND AS A RESULT- THEY ARE NOT TREATED EQUAL! THEY MAKE 18,500 A YEAR WHILE WHITES ARE MAKING 36,000 A YEAR! HOW DARE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SAY WHAT MAKES YOU SICK WHEN NOBODY ASKED YOU??!! YOU'RE GOING TO NEED MEDICARE WHEN YOU REACH THE AGE WHERE YOUR CHILDREN HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHAT OLD FOLKS HOME TO PUT YOU IN AND YOU, TOO WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FREE TREATMENT YOU'RE GETTING! B*TCH! ALSO, PLEASE DONT VOTE FOR JD YEAGER IN NOV. 2008 ELECTION AS HE TOO, IS A RACIST AND MURDERER!

As a working parent I can't afford dental for my children or myself. Bad part is I make $20 to much a month to qualify for help. Plan in rent, utilities, food, gas, shoes and clothes and I'm in the hole, oops forgot car insurance and vehicle repairs. Any type of help that covers children shouldn't be taken away. They deserve it and it shouldn't depend on if the parents can afford it or not.

Just a footnote; I wish I made 18,500 a year and I'm white.

stop belly-aching all of u. small-minded,_____!!

fill in the blanks!! poor whites, blacks, asians, mexicans, Indians, doesn't matter. Kids should get free dental care to prevent long term diseases like heart disease in adulthood. Elders should get free care because all those years working in your kitchen or cleaning your dirty drawers or cutting your yard didn't pay enough for them to save for extras like dental care.
What goes around comes around.

What a crazy statement you made. I bet you are one of the people who have in the past had these freebies and no longer meet the requirements. Nothing in this country is free, taxpapers are paying for this service. If the government was not taking every dime we made, maybe parents can afford dental plans. Grow up and realize what country you live in.Our dental and medical plan is very costly and some people are barely able to put food on their tables.
