MSNBC's report this morning mentioned the fact that the family had been smuggled in. The reporterette never used any form of the word illegal. Earlier this week I saw a report on one of the news nets that the family had insurance, and that the insurance was picking up 80% of the cost, with Duke picking up the other 20% Who's paying for all of this? And I hear the family has already retained a malpractice atty. Not that I, in any way, excuse Duke, but the idea that these folks may make money off this situation really ticks me off.

Two decades ago, Mack Mahoney lost his 2-month-old son, Anthony, after an operation to correct a kidney defect. He felt the operation was botched, but didn't see the sense in taking any action.
This time around, Mahoney refuses to stay silent.

I have a feeling he's kept his grief bottle up, he's going to exploit this case and he's the puppeteer manipulating the family. He's going to go for huge money, it's his way of getting revenge with the system.

This entire story is disturbing. Smuggled in illegally, here for 3 or more years, and still haven't bothered to learn any English? And now they've retained a malpractice attorney? I guess they knew enough English to do that!
