I don't think there is any country in the world where medical treatment is free, but in most countrys it is illegal not to have health insurance. I've never understood the american way of sueing eachother over every little thing...

Someone breaks something of yours do to their own incompetence, it's only fair that they replace it. Sure there are cases that are completely without merit... and no doubt this guy is inflating his claim. But he still has a right to atleast what he had to pay for medical expenses. There is a pretty fair arguement that he should be paid for the time he lost at work as well.
