child dies after workers refuse to fix his medicaid record

Mom sues Denver, three workers over child's death - The Denver Post

but as we know, america has the best health care system in the world!

If only this 9 year old had worked hard in school, got a real job, etc then he wouldnt have been in this position!

So it seems the single parent just sat back until little Zumati died because Wallgreens refused to fill her prescription? The mother needed a prescription for motivation for Gods sake. Figure it out while the child is alive.

The mother should have been indicted for child abuse since stupidity isn't a crime.

If it would have been my child, I would have been arrested for chocking out the pharmacist. The ensuing media coverage would have gotten the problem resolved.

Sometimes you just need to kick the table over to gather peoples attention.

If only his parents had worked hard in school, got a real job, etc then he wouldn’t have been in this position.

Oh give me a break. The mother couldn't figure out how to get her son his medications for MONTHS? Couldn't have been trying very hard -because I wouldn't have left the place until I had it in my hand. That is what a REAL parent does -so WTF was she doing for all those MONTHS? Its only a wonder he didn't die sooner. But NOW, NOW she has the energy to actually do something about it, right -by suing someone hoping SHE makes out like a bandit for HER failure to properly care for her own child! I wouldn't give her ONE DIME. She couldn't be bothered FOR MONTHS to actually get off her ass and if it took going from doctor to pharmacist to Medicaid office -WHATEVER IT TOOK to make sure her kid had his medication, then sorry no one should have the time to hear her lawsuit. First and foremost responsibility for making sure this child had his medication was HERS -and she abandoned it. Too bad her kid can't sue HER for dereliction of her parental duties.

One nine year old kid in Denver dying does not in any way, shape, or form mean the U.S. does not have the best health care system in the world. Best does not mean perfect and people in Europe with socialist health care die all the time, but you already knew that.

What are you yaking about?

The kid wasn't aborted so it's all good with the right.

Once it leaves the womb..it ain't anyone's responsibility.

You guys want to cut everything that would keep kids alive.

This is just a proof of concept.

Silly me. Here I thought he was his mother's responsibility.

Opps.

There is that.

But if she dies..then it's suppose to be left out in the woods.

This-is-SPARTA!

What i see is a mother trying to make a payout on the back of her dead son.

She didn't, so what it the relevancy of your statement? In fact, you have yet to make a relevant point in this thread.

Something doesn't jive here. Don't Medicaid recipients carry 'insurance cards' or some kind of something to prove eligbility? Couldn't the pediatrican confirm the child was on Medicaid...or provide sample meds, physicians often do. Asthma didn't develop overnight, there has to be a prescription record somewhere that could prove eligibility.

Aside from that, as a mom you do what you have to come up with the money for the medication for your child and clear up the 'glitch' after you know your child is on the mend.

What doesn't jive is some did not go to the link and read what actually little boy.

What happened to him was death by computer glitch at Walgreen's.

My heart goes out to that mother who, from all appearances, followed up over and over with the same result from Walgreen's each and every time--computer sez this and computer sez that.

She lost her beautiful young son, and there was no excuse for a pharmacy treating her so arrogantly as to not care about her and her little boy's life-threatening asthma.

Seems the utopia of 'universal health care' ain't all that, either.

A teenage girl has been left paralysed for life after an appalling blunder by doctors during a routine operation.
Sophie Tyler, 14, was given an overdose of the painkilling epidural drug after surgery to remove gallstones.

So it seems the single parent just sat back until little Zumati died because Wallgreens refused to fill her prescription? The mother needed a prescription for motivation for Gods sake. Figure it out while the child is alive.

Oh please. Have you ever tried to fight the medicaid bureaucratic nightmare?

This kid died because a pharmacy wouldn't fill his frigging albuterol inhaler.

That's just absurd.

But blame the mother. Why not? I am sure it's all her fault. If only she could have been able to afford private insurance, she wouldn't have had these problems!

Shit like this happens in every system across the world. People die because other people screw up.

Most of us don't pretend it's because the whole system is fucked - but most of us are slightly more rational than the idiot OP.

Oh come on Callie Girl; how many fuck ups could we find in our system of private care? Do I really need to give you a list of all the lawsuits over doctor fuck ups? It doesn't matter what system we have, nothing is ever going to be perfect, and yes, some people are going to die or have the wrong leg amputated. Hell, with things like MRSA, it's a crapshoot just being admitted to a hospital anymore.

"that in government, no one answers the phone?" said John Holland, one of Lucero-Mills' attorneys. "Who is responsible for nothing happening? Is it nobody? Is it God? Is it a computer? Or is it the people who didn't act?"

Just think how nice it will be when the government gets its hands on YOUR health care. The mom could have had the meds no problem. Her laziness killed her Son.
