In Maryland a 12-year old boy went to a hospital in Maryland's Prince Georges County. His name is Deamonte Driver. He was diagnozed for a tooth abscess and sinusitis. They gave him antibiotics and was send home. A couple of weeks later his mother buryied him. She couldn't pay $80 to have his tooth removed. The bacteria from his tooth traveled to his brain and killed him. Deamonte become another victum of the health disparities in this nation.
Many African-Americans die because the colored people have poorer health than the white people and have better chance to not have a health insurence. It is not fair to have people suffering because they are different color. To make this country better everyone must be equal.

It wasn't fair for not letting African-Americans get good health insurence.
