I can't believe that in any country besides the U.S., any civilized country, that the parents of a murdered boy would receive this bill for $29,000 and such an insulting letter," [Scott's Father]Gerald Hawkins said. Hawkins called the letter, delivered to their home just 12 hours after their son's funeral, a harsh blow to the couple's healing process. "I would say this really torpedoed whatever gains we had made," Hawkins said.

That is because most Americans don't think we need the government to hold our hands and solve our problems. In fact, we think they usually are the problem. Maybe if they didn't tax the living hell out of everything already more people could afford healthcare. Though, I forgive you for not understanding since Europeans don't really share the same love of freedom.

Lol waiting times now will be at the very least tripled... with all the ow my hand hurts or my stomach feels weird... you thought you had it bad waiting an hour in a waiting room for an appointment.... try waiting a few days... or in all likelyhood a few months.... You think the government isnt going to ration care? It would be a nice fairy tale world if that was how it happened... but who in that fairy tale story would end up footing the outrageous bills from the new influx of people who just want to see a doctor because they have a small cut... 2.5 percent will soon turn into 10 percent of your income
