please tell me where i can date this cute boy
i'm curious why the hospital thinks they can charge that much

it's the same thing as suing someone for a million dollars. chances are they don't have a million dollars and they'll just file for bankruptcy and you don't get your money.

I worked on a farm there for a month (maui), the locals are mean, the police are dicks, too many tourists, and the hippies are stupid. Also super expensive. Ok maybe im just talking about maui.

We got the 'bill' for one of the babies because they were born in another province and there was a slight discrepancy between the two hospitals we were dealing with and it was like 29 thousand dollars.

Of course I didn't pay a penny of that

The one time I went to Hawaii I saw people that bought fish and set them free in the ocean. Those fish died because it was saltwater.

honest answer? companies are run by profit driven humans and even if they know they'll never get a million out of this woman they're going to make her life hell for putting in a large claim. because they're humans, and if there's one thing humans are, it's vengeful. gently caress everyone who hurts your profit.
