I’m sure those close to the victims are doing that. We who do not k ow anyone involved can take a more clinical and critical look at what the big picture means for these people and how could this be prevented from happening to others (not only the physical act of the car hitting them but also the structural issues that will leave the survivors’ lives in a shambles and possibly advocate for change - change that could help them as well as change that could help others in the future).

OF COURSE we wish them well with their health.

>Some people, many people. Without knowing you're assuming everyone there is uninsured or has cheap health insurance. The world is not made up entirely of people who are disadvantaged financially. 

I’m not assuming that every single person in that store was poor. I’m suggesting that the financial burden should lie with the driver’s insurance, rather than the victims. If you get run over by a car, it shouldn’t matter how rich you are, or how rich the driver is. 

>This is a tragedy, not everything has to be turned into a crusade for you to take action. Worry about their health first not their finances. I would be insulted if a friend heard I was injured and the first thing they thought about was how I was going to afford it and not asked me about how I am actually feeling physically.

I am worried about their health, but at this point, nothing can be done to change the fact that they just got run over by a car. My thoughts and prayers aren’t going to help them. Money might. They could have expensive medical bills, and could be missing a lot of work.
