I'm not saying that if I was on a jury for the attacker I would vote not guilty.

But mostly because saying so would exclude me from ever being on a jury like that.

Hell, I'm from Canada where we have (mostly) socialized medicine, and the one time I made a claim on private insurance it was denied. That was after I had called them to confirm that yes, my policy (should have) covered that expense.

And it was only a few hundred bucks too, so my frustration was more about the principle of the thing rather than the cost.

In America that bill could force you to choose between food or rent.

I fully appreciate that, and it's the same in Canada for many people. I've witnessed it personally. I'm very fortunate to be in a position to handle that sort of thing.
