Whatever sins of commission or omission, Elizabeth Edwards has made in her life; the burdens she now carries are unimaginable.
Cancer treatment is a walk in the park compared to the ultimate betrayal by the father of your children - the public humiliation of his flaunting of the whore and their poor illegitimate child - and the reality that her own children are also suffering indignities.
We should never be so unlucky.
“Historically, 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.”
