Boy Hit by Meteorite

Interesting, I wonder if Health Insurance companies cover you for any injuries due to a meteorite strike?

You are seriously obsessed. Just go and buy the damn health insurance like the rest of us and stop

bitching about how horrible the US system is.

I'll buy it when I'm ready to buy it.....fingers crossed a reform bill will come into play and my money will no longer go into the hands of greedy corporations who want to make money off other people's suffering and illness. Happy now?

I'd rather my money went to greedy corporations than lazy deadbeats who are sponging off of everyone else's labor.

Happy now?

Ahhh that's the thing though it wouldn't be going to lazy deadbeats, it would be going into the health care system itself for everyone. It would mean "We" the people would own and control the health care industry.

Well ok then.

But what would happen to the billions of dollars the "greedy corporations" currently spend

on drug R&D? Developing a single new drug and bringing it to the market takes on average

10-15 years and costs hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars. The same amount, if not

more, is spent on marketing, advertising, and administration.

Well marketing and advertising wouldn't be required to extent it is used now in the USA, that would be cut significantly. The choice of drug would be down to the doctor regardless of cost to treat their patient. Pharmaceutical Research & Development expenditure is just as big in the EU as the USA.

Oh man. Did you Dad stop the car and try to nab the kids?

My mom was driving actually, dad in the front seat, me and my brother in the middle seats (where most of the glass went) and my other brother in the back. He was mostly saved. My mom did amazing actually. It was dark outside so we couldn't see anything. She screamed #######?! And swerved a bit, but we were on a busy highway, so it was impressive that she didn't wreck the car (and thank God it hit me and not her or then we really would have been in trouble!). So after she got the car under control she pulled over and we figured out what happened and called the cops. We only assume it was kids because who else would it have been? Like I said, it was dark and we were driving on the highway. We had just gone under a bridge when it happened. When the cop got there he took the rock that had been thrown as evidence and told us that the week before the same thing had happened but that it has hit the wife of the driver (of a truck) and she was in the hospital still!!! He said they looked for the kids (assuming again) before, but couldn't find anything but some four wheeler tracks. They were going to put articles in the local paper about how we had gotten hurt and how the truck drivers wife was in the hospital with the hope that the kids would see it and understand that what they did was not cool. We were covered in glass, AND I have a scar. I was bleeding a little bit, but only a little. At first I though I was literally gushing blood and was going to die or something. I thought I'd been shot!

Ps. It extra sucked because we were on the way to visit my grandparents and because of this accident I didn't get to see them until the next day. At this point I just wanted to take a shower to get the glass off of me! Three days later my grandfather died, so if that hadn't happened I would have gotten to see him one more time! I did see him lots over the next three days, but still...I would have gotten one more time!

a similar incident happened in darmstadt, germany, about 9 years ago - some american kids were throwing rocks off an overpass onto an autobahn, but people did get killed in that. really strained local us-german relations for a while.
