5. Do you realize that they only will recieve at most 40% of that money then 1/2 of that 40% goes to the government? the attorneys get 60% plus expenses. They 're the ones who really profit from thiscatastrophe!!!!

6. If the hospital going to pay and take care of all future related healthcare needs for the children and the each child get 250K them being the ones that went through it why do the parents get more? Yes they suffered too but not as much as the infants.

7. All that money has to come from somewhere, like the pockets of people that aren't rich movie stars. That $1.25 million dollars they've collected so far is going to end up being paid by patients that need it a lot more than the Quaid's do.

8. The families of the babies who actually DIED as a result from heparin overdoses in the other states have not received nearly as much compensation as Dennis Quaid or his twins. His twins appear to be very healthy, thank goodness, and more than likely WILL NOT have any future problems. Like "Troy" said, we the non-movie stars are the ones who ended up paying the Quaids off. I don't agree with this was for once a "lawsuit worthy of"

9. I would like to believe that the money that the Dennis and his wife won was put into their foundation for medical mistakes and the prevention of them that I believe they started after the ordeal happened. I would think the the money that the twins got would be put into some kind of trust if the parents have no say in what happens to that money. If they do have say, I hope they invested it into the foundation as well.

10. How disgusting for all the people posting negative comments about the Quaid's getting a settlement. Just because they have been successful in life does not make it unfair for them to get a settlement. This couple and the children have been through a horrible ordeal and it is not for any of us to say if they should or should not get money. I have never commented on anything ever before but reading some readers comments just made me irate.

13. I'll shoot back a a bottle of Heparin with a coke chaser for twenty-five hundred bucks.... come on!

14. What happened to those babies should never happened, but I agree with what others said: the non famous folks would never get these amounts of money!

I have noticed both Quaid and his wife are still chainsmokers. Do they realize that's at least as dangerous for their babies?
