the car the children were riding in hit a patch of black ice and spun into a tree

Isn't it funny (in a sad way) that EVERY DBM account of this accident omits mention of the driver? As if the vehicle were propelling itself?

Look, nobody wants the children to suffer. Everyone wants them to have medical care and to recover.

But when taxpayers are forced to foot the bill, they have a right to question:
(a) the parents' own responsibility for the injuries (were the kids wearing seat belts? who was driving? was the driver insured?)
(b) the parents' own capability to find a way to pay for their childrens' medical expenses -- without soaking the taxpayers.

I find nothing identifying Bonnie as the driver (of course!), or any mention of auto insurance being in place. I’m sure the parents were covered by something, because they seem so conscientious, and able to go through all the hoops to qualify for other programs where someone pays the bill.

Oh, but that is where you are wrong in the mind of a DUmmie. You have NO right to question. You are just supposed to open up your pockets and pay up. I mean, what are you? A child hater? /s
