		<description>i thought the accident was caused by a patch of black ice.  in that case, there would be no other driver to sue.</description>

		<description>Some of the comments on that picture post are disgusting.

This one in particular ticked me off: &quot;This was an auto accident, don&#039;t tell me the family had no automobile insurance. Its against the law to drive without insurance.&quot;

He then goes on to say that they could just sue the other party for liability.

Right, because every single person on the road drives legally.  My mother suffered a car wreck after an uninsured driver ran a red light and struck her car.  She had a head injury so severe that she was left unconcious and had memory loss.  She didn&#039;t know who my father was (they&#039;d only been married for a few months) and also she didn&#039;t know she was pregnant with me.  (She was only a few weeks along, in fact she was on her way home from the doctor&#039;s visit that confirmed her pregnancy.  I&#039;m damn lucky to be here.)  The result?  My mother never saw a damn dime from the other drivers.  My &lt;strong&gt;mother&#039;s&lt;/strong&gt; uninsured motorists insurance paid &lt;em&gt;them&lt;/em&gt; $5,000 because the other driver&#039;s son &lt;strong&gt;bit his tongue&lt;/strong&gt;.  This was about 27 years ago and my mother still has neck and back trouble from that accident, not to mention the head injury is now cited as the cause for her mental illness that has left her on disability.  Don&#039;t tell me car insurance pays for a damn thing.  And even if the Frost&#039;s had sued and earned some form of settlement from the insurance companies?  It would not likely even be anywhere near enough to pay for a lifetime of medical costs those children will have.

Sorry I ranted here instead of there, but it&#039;s just...UGH!</description>

		<description>The fuck is wrong with these people?! You know, I&#039;m the kind of person who likes to think that, even with radically differing opinions, or with people who are jerks that  people aren&#039;t wholly bad. But how awful do you have to be to attack severely injured children and their family for your fucking political cause? I am so disgusted and utterly sick at heart that people would behave like this or agree with those who do.</description>

		<description>Her kids - her kids may not be alive today. Simply and bluntly put.

I work in a rehab hospital. It&#039;s awe-inspiring, really.

That fucking Malkin; I don&#039;t usually dislike people, but her - her, I do and on a fast train hurtling towards absolute and complete disgust to the border of hate.</description>

		<description>Shameless blogwhoring: I wrote a bit last week about the Frosts&#039; situation and how similar it was to my family&#039;s a few years ago.

The aspect of the health care crisis that is not hard to understand but is apparently hard to imagine: Therapeutic care is not offered in the ER. 

So if your kid&#039;s best hope is in months and years of followup care, the lack of employer-based group insurance coverage can be devastating to your child&#039;s welfare.

And no, I&#039;m not volunteering my kid to follow Graeme onto the national stage. He brought down the house, and I have anger management issues that would prevent Michelle Malkin&#039;s walking away after peering in my windows to examine my counters. Best not to go there.</description>
