Hogan Pal Graziano Moved to Vets Hospital

John Graziano, the former Marine who has been in a coma since being critically injured in the Aug. 26 crash of Nick Hogan's Supra, is being moved from his current hospital -- and his lawyer says his condition is improving.

The St. Petersburg Times reports that Graziano has been moved to the James A. Haley VA Hospital in Tampa, after spending more than two months at Bayfront Medical Center. George Tragos, John's mother's lawyer, tells the Times that he was moved "at the request" of the Veterans Administration for cost reasons. Tragos also adds that Graziano is "improving or else they wouldn't have moved him."

Two days ago, his pal Nick got arrested and charged with felony reckless driving and underage drinking -- and suggested in a statement that John should've been wearing a seatbelt.

16. Nick Hogan should pay for his buddies healthcare. The family should sue Nick and his parents since he was a minor.

19. What about Terry's assertion that he and Nick would 'walk John out of that hosptial'. That didn't happen. What about Terry saying he would foot the bill for the BEST doctors for John? Doesn't look like that's happening. I don't want to diss Florida or the VA hospital, but I would think if you were trying to get the best care for a person that you would send them to the Mayo Clinic or Stanford or some other hospital known for their proactivity in healing. Believe me, if it was my loved one, and cost was no barrier (as with the Hogans) I would have them transferred from a VA hospital to somewhere that was at least more noteworthy for their contributions to medicine. Isn't a VA hospital more like a nursing home for vets ina case like this?

20. ...I guess nursing home next ....once he doesn't " rehabilitate" anymore he will be transferred out of there too!!!!!!!!!..I just pray this young man doesn't have the cognitive funtion to know what happened to him!!!!!!!!

22. Is Nick still in jail or did they check him in for show and he was out an hour later? As much money as their family has or it appears their family has, it is horrible that the Bollea family is not doing more for this young man and his family. Or perhaps they are and we just don't know. But I think that if they were doing for him we would have heard. Nick was had been drinking and was driving carelessly and I find it totally shameful that they are quick to mention that this young man did not have on his seat beat. What if he had his seat belt on and the same injuries happened? Then what?

23. I live in the Tampa area and from what I've seen he's a spoiled little brat without a care in the World. His parent should have did somehting about his driving issues before a innocent person was hurt. They are reversing the blame off him and blame it on a U.S. Marine that's terrible, money talks though?

24. How do we know John wasn't wearing a seat belt? BECAUSE NICK SAID HE WASN'T! Why do we believe anything Nick says? NIck says he wasn't drinking and he was. Nick says he wasn't speeding and he was. Nick said he wasn't racing and witnesses say he was. So why do we believe him when he says John wasn't wearing a seat belt?

25. i guess the hogans got mad that their son was convicted and moved the marine....how sad. the hogans should have john in the best hospital possible and paying the bills. also for those who keep mentioning the seatbelt, it wouldnt have made a difference in this case. yea it was a bad decision, but either way it wouldnt have mattered

26. I be honest, we don't know what the Hogan family has done, and they haven't. Let's be fair to all involved, and keep our prayers coming for this young man and his family.

27. WTF???? Taxpayers are paying these hospital bills? Shouldn't that punk's family be paying them? I'm sure the car was registered and insured by Hogan's dad in some way since the son was a minor. Let's let Hulk pay the bills. It's not the taxpayers fault he didn't take the car and keys away from him minor son the first two times he was clocked over 100 MPH and ticketed twice.

29. Why is the VA paying any of the expenses? The driver should be on the hook. If his insurance won't pay (I'm sure the limit was reached long ago) then he should be personally responsible. At least thats how it works for the rest of us peons. Recent news has indicated the Hogans own or owned houses worth millions. Well, time for a second mortgage or a fire sale. I don't feel like paying for this spoiled rich punks mistake. If the vet were actually responsible, yes, I'd pay for his care gladly. That doesn't appear to be the case here. Why aren't the Hogans meeting their financial responsiblities here? Please investigate tmz.

30. Nick only had a $10,000 bond, of course his daddy bailed him out. All he had to do was reach into his sock and use his spare change..
