[This is from the Chronic Pain Conference on Fidonet]

I have a little girl (age 9 now) that was injured in a car accident last 
Thanksgiving.  She is now a complete quad. (C1) & vent dependent.

She has been held hostige in the hospital waiting for a settlement from the 
insurance company an housing.  She was been waisting =MANY= months in the 
hospital and literally hundreds of thousands of dollars (BIG $$$!)  Why 
couldn't the insurance company spend this money on Jill rather than the 
medical center?  We could build a nice modest house for $500,000.00. <not 
grinning>  Now I really understand why insuance rates are so high.
