"I can't believe that in any country besides the U.S., any civilized country, that the parents of a murdered boy would receive this bill for $29,000 and such an insulting letter," Gerald Hawkins said.

Hawkins called the letter, delivered to their home just 12 hours after their son's funeral, a harsh blow to the couple's healing process.

Sincerely,

Canada

Filthy retarded imred hick repyblicans blocking universal health care. SO GLAD I DONT LIVE IN AMERICA!

Holding empathy & sympathy for the peoples tragic Loss

Yet considering how Tea Party Americans eat up Corporate Disinformation

And are lead like Stupd Servile Sheep to work aginst their own Interests

Perhaps it is FAIR to say, that on the whole the Americans people recieve

the kind of medical care that they deserve
