It is sad that the family is stuck with the huge medical bills, But I also can see 2 sides to this story. Why should these "weekend warriors" be treated any differently than any other self-employed person in this country who have to seek medical insurance in the private market? And there is a part of the DJ story that hasn't been brought up....did he have a "real" job during the week? If so, why wasn't there insurance through that employer, if it was a full time employer?
While I feel for the family, I think it's wrong for these weekend warriors to expect, and us fans to disparge RCR for not providing, anything more than what any other self-employed or part-time employee receives.
In the end...the responsibility fell to DJ to have the medical insurance, not RCR, not NASCAR...
