It says in the article that the father has a good source of income, and the family has good health insurance. So money and insurance is not an issue. This is pure negligence on the part of the parents.

    "good health insurance" does that mean marketplace insurance or is it actually "good health insurance"? it's seems like that leaves a lot open to interpretation.

    True. But if your seven year old is morbidly obese and probably showing symptoms of wider health issues, and you have some form of health insurance for the family (which is inferred by the article), you take them to the doctor more than once in their life and get them checked up. If you don't you are a horrible and negligence parent.
