As a follow-up to my earlier comments. I do feel that some controls should be enforced with the pay-out of any money to the injured. I know of a case 10 years back that was not covered in any newscast or newspaper. There was a man that was to undergo surgery very near his spinal cord. The Doctor informed him and his family of the risks. As it turned out, his spinal core was nicked and the man had permanent damage. The Doctor was sued for malpractice and the injured man was awarded an amount for $25 million dollars. The relatives of the man took the money and purchased new cars, boats, went on shopping sprees and trips to Vegas. Five years later, they all went bankrupt and the man is on State support. Food for thought.

Sorry SlushPuppy, I think that this question should have been a Yes or No question.

Thank you. I was unaware of that issue. I am still learning or as translate would say "incompetent" I am having a hard time enlightening him to the fact that your only considered to be incompetent, if, you have been taught something and are still not able to do it after the instructions. I'll keep that in mind, "the world vote", for future questions.

Well, no one is PERFECT like you.

Jesus made the choice to live life as a pauper.

This just in -

"on Thursday () the Senate Finance Committee has dropped end-of-life provisions from its health care legislation -- "entirely because of the way they could be misinterpreted and implemented incorrectly."

I think all the medical bills should be paid for life through a "pay as billed" payment plan, plus any costs for rehabilitation. Also, they should be paid compensation for their injuries. However, to be awarded, say like, $50 million dollars to an individual that would never have earned that much money in their entire life, MIGHT NOT be considered to be fair.

Wow, you picked up on that. Give this man a point.

Wow, wasn't that a zinger.
