That is how the system works. It...Not a travesty. That is how the system works. It was undoubtedly a part of why the settlement was $3.6 million. If you make the case, "you owe me $X because of these med bills", then you win $X, You then have to pay the medical bills. Otherwise, you should make the case, "give me $X + medical bills".<br /><br />The travesty is that no one who is responsible was punished.
