Yes. That made me think your comment, which you then did not address to Dell but back to me, was indeed directed to me. And again, you called the thread title "absolutely stupid". As I wrote the thread, yeah, I'd say you were talking to me.

No. I don't think "America" should pick up the tab for this woman. As I said my concerns were, athletes in those sports cannot get insurance from their private insurers in the US, and foreigners cannot get US privates to write travel insurance for those high-hazard sports - that is a problem I listed, a major fail for US insurance. Or maybe they could get insurance, but it's $50,000 a year or something (what do jocks pay, I wonder?) I also don't know what the deal is why an adults parents would be held responsible for her $300,000. Maybe, as I wondered, they signed something first day. And if so, did that affect the healthcare choice she would or would not have gotten? That -that the question needs to be wondered about in the face of a life-threatening emergency - is another major problem with US healthcare.

I was not freaking talking to you lady....you chimed in on my post, you talked to me first. I was commenting and just putting it out there.
