    Also, for a “good laugh”… she was an 82-year-old who KEPT DRIVING. He was found laying on the side of the road. IN KANSAS.

    What at awful way to die: On the side of the road surrounded by 330ish million people who don’t care about you, and if you do make it you’ll be bankrupt from medical debt.

      Oh my… I forgot that the need of healthcare is equal to the personal bankruptcy.

      Holy fuck that’s horrible. Still hard to imagine that there’s people who call US the best country in the world and aren’t part of the 1% that owns everything.

              State minimum is $25k. Them there’s underinsured motorist coverage. Then, after that, a court may take her assets to pay the expenses. The family can get at least $250k for “wrongful death,” but potentially more.
