John Edwards story allegedly somehow gets even worse

[witchcurlgirl]

He’s right….there ARE two America’s. One for deadbeat, lying, cheating scum. And one for the rest of us.

No sooner than John Edwards admits paternity to the world, and jets off to Haiti presumably for penance to aid the victims of disaster with no cameras (Hello, CBS - what ARE you doing here?) then he gets into a row with baby mamma Rielle Hunter over the health care of their daughter Frances Quinn.

Historically, (look it up) John Edwards was a huge proponent for health care coverage for all Americans when he was running for president.

But the disgraced former candidate recently balked at paying a $5,000 dental bill for his love child daughter, who is uninsured, say sources.

Edwards' mistress Rielle Hunter took their daughter Frances - who turns 2 in February - to a dental specialist in Charlotte, N.C., in late December because the child had developed tooth decay.

"Rielle can't believe that she had to have her lawyers fight with John's attorneys to get this taken care of," said the source.

"Frances is doing fine now, but Rielle is still fuming mad that their daughter has no insurance and that she had to beg John to foot the dental bill."

Edwards made health care a big part of his campaign when he was running for the White House, before The ENQUIRER exposed his extramarital affair.

"Who are you willing to leave behind …Which family? Which child?" Edwards once said.

Edwards, a multimillionaire, eventually agreed to pay the dental bill.

Meanwhile, while Edwards remains in Haiti, laying low, as the Federal Grand Jury investigation continues to determine if Edwards masterminded a conspiracy of silence, funneling funds to his mistress and accompliceAndrew Young from monies earmarked for his failed Presidential campaign.

Yeah, that's what i was thinking too and you would think this ass is paying some kind of support.

I bet Edwards is really wishing he hadn't been too cheap to spring for that pack of condoms.

5,000 dollar dental bill? Bottle Rot much?

[Pippin69]

Isn't $5000 a lot for a toddler, did she let the poor kid's teeth rot through?

And while Edwards should definitely pay for the baby's healthcare, why didn't Rielle insure her own kid as well, it's her responsibility, too. It's not like she thought she could depend on Edwards to take care of it, she knew he was a bastard this whole time.

How old is this kid that she needs $5000 worth of dental work?

**Wondering if I've spent $5,000 in my entire lifetime on dental anything...**

Veneers, perhaps?

As trailer trash inbred as she is, its probably genetic.

[LucreziaBorgia]

She probably insisted on taking her kid to a specialist for 5K when a simple dental visit for under a couple of hundred dollars would have done.

If the kid really needed 5K worth of dental work, then eyes should be pointing also at her for not taking care of her kid's teeth. There is literally NO EXCUSE for a kid to have teeth that bad at that age unless the parents literally ignore any and all dental care.

my brothers ex was a lazy bitch, and both of the kids had bottle rot. she would put the kids to bed, and prop the bottle in it, with milk or juice. they ended up having all their front teeth , top and bottom, pulled out, and had to wait until they came in on their own when they were 5ish.

[bellini]

5K? Maybe it's a lot of rot.

[Kathie_Moffett]

Sounds like rot is genetically transmitted. Poor little kid.

My 6 year old grandchild was born with really crappy enamal and had to have all her baby teeth coated. They had to put her to sleep to do it, so it can cost a lot. They don't usually do baby teeth but her teeth were rotting. No bottles, no juice and no candy, just bad genetics.
