Roomate has let himself get into an emergency situation with an absessed tooth. Went to a dentist today who knew he had no insurance. They did an exam and x-rays but said they wouldn't do any work without payment up front. Dentist wouldn't even give him a prescription for antibiotics even though he told roomate his entire mouth was infected. He works hard every day and pays his bills but doesn't have a lot in savings and no insurance.
He called the emergency rooms at two local hospitals who also said they wouldn't take him without insurance, although one is the county charity hospital.
What do poor working people do? Any suggestions?
