I was merely there to buy a bone for my dog. As I was exiting my car, here comes this car flying about 45 mph thru the parking lot and it hits this lady , about 45 yrs old, who is walking across the lot. WHAM<
she screams and her arm and side are hit. the car races out of the parking lot.
I am the only witness.

I tell her to call the police, and she does. They arrive. I give them a full description of the guy and car. They take my phone no and name.

Then I tell the lady "Your arm is very swollen, you should go to the ER and take care of that you might have a hairline fracture"

She looks at me, shaking , and says

"But my husband just got laid off from the plant in town which is closing, our house burned down last month, and we havent got the money for the ER".

Well, thats it in a nutshell, America!!! she has chosen to live with a possibly fractured arm after being hit by a car because she has no health insurance and no money..

this happened one hour ago tonight.

We're No 1!


end of rant.

oh, yeah. I hugged her .
