    Thanks to Bush II, medical device manufacturers are immune to class action lawsuits!

    Yay Capitalism!

    My Dad had the leads on his pacemaker fail and caused his heart to be repeatedly and continuously shocked.

    Leads were replaced but guess who paid for that?

    It wasn’t the manufacturer!

      If your dad managed to torture the CEO, do you think a jury would convict?

      Like honestly.

        To be fair, prison treatment aside, the fact that the elderly don’t rob banks, confuses me greatly.

        Guaranteed housing, meals, and health care.

        Sure it’s prison, but what is an elder care home, but a prison. for the elderly?

        Certain states have better prisons.

        Use that social security check to travel to NY and not Texas or Florida.

          Use that social security check to pay a lawyer to get you into a really nice jail.
