Medical bills can very easily get into 6 and even 7 digits.

I wouldn't try to self-insure unless I had an 8-digit networth.

They don't want to take on the liability. You know the gov would throw the company under the bus if it fucked up in a catastrophic way. And not only financial and legal liability, but also damage to their reputation.

Managing risk is critical to any business.

If you don't mind sharing: where to?

If you do mind, I definitely understand.

Financial demands on parents have increased, but so have non-financial demands.

This time line sucks

Most drills that I've seen do have a screwdriver setting on them. It differs from normal drilling in torque and probably speed.
