        @paulg Why is the fact that the lawsuit was an insurance scam rather than a different kind of litigation abuse a defense?

        @srisankaran @tedfrank @paulg right--my snipe-y comment came from being mad that this is how paying for medicine works in the US, plausibly

        @paulg Wow she was forced to sue her nephew to cover healthcare costs. The indignities of the US healthcare system never cease to amaze me.
