At 24 he is too young to be retired military. It has been a long time since I
was in the military, but health care ended when we were discharged. I have not
heard anything about him being a disabled veteran. Recovery from head trauma
could take a long time, and there may be residual problems much longer. I
doubt that he will have much trouble getting a settlement from Oakland. There
is at least one recent precedent.

If he has military insurance he is covered at 100%. Tricare is good like
that. Too bad we can't all have that coverage.

That's a very good question, Vicki. Even if he has health insurance, it won't
be enough to cover all his bills. He will be able to sue the City of Oakland
but it will be years and years before he will see a settlement.
