if there was universal health care in the US, there's a chance this would have never seen the light of day, as the initial desire was simply to pay for medical costs incurred out of pocket...
She was at fault; that's why the judgement was reduced in the first place. McDonald's lawyers made a huge gaff in not settling out of court.

So not sure your argument here, since you have not spilled McDonalds coffee on your self it argues against her for suing the company?
Or do you argue that the coffee temp should be fine like it was, in that it could cause such severe burns?
