Jeremy Renner reveals he broke over 30 bones in snowplow accident

Nice to hear he's back home now.

It's great to see both legs and arms in that Instagram picture. I had been assuming that he'd lost one or both.

Now if he could just fix the face, he'd be in business.

I like Chris Evans' tweet.

"that's one tough mf'er".

I love his face. It's unusual, but still handsome.

He’s so lucky to be alive.

I'm nosy this way, but I wonder what amount out-of-pocket he has to pay for his medical bills.

Disney is notoriously cheap and greedy so they ain't paying, even though he's an employee of Marvel. I guess it would depend on his contract.

I think the Actor’s union has excellent medical insurance, so he’s probably covered under that. Is he an employee of Marvel? I didn’t think it worked that way.

Of course he’s not, r8.

R7 is typing from the 1940s when actors were tied to their studios. Though why a comic book company would have him in their employ is beyond me.

This was discussed at length in the original thread about his accident.

I'm quite confident he has top notch health insurance.

Not to be morbid, but depending on the severity of the injuries to the covered leg, he might still lose it or find that it's essentially useless. It's remarkable that he survived this and that he's already back home. Without his wealth he'd probably be stuck living in a rehab facility for several months.

You’d think he would have died of shock in the snow. He really is a tough mf’er.

True, R11, I thought of that but decided not to complicate the sentiment. He's got both for now, at least!

No doubt r11 and r13. He has months of rehab ahead, but he’s fortunate to be able to do it at home. I’m sure that is coming out of his pocket.

My mother used to live next door to Eliza Dushku's dad. They both taught in the same school district for a while.

I should not post while drinking - that was the wrong thread!

Jeremy appears to have lots of love and support from family & friends. So he's ahead of the game already. When you're rehabbing from serious injury or surgery having people around who love you and are there for you makes a huge difference in how long before you're back on your feet. Trust me I know this all too well.

"I'm nosy this way, but I wonder what amount out-of-pocket he has to pay for his medical bills."

SAG offers medical insurance, but if he's paying out of pocket for stuff it's probably for home care. I don't know about SAG specifically but the average US private healthcare policy covers home visits by physical therapists and nurses 2-3 times a week under some circumstances, and may or may not cover DME like that hospital bed, but I don't think any medical insurances in the US cover home health aides. So he's probably paying out of pocket for a good chunk of his home care, and I'd do the same in his position.

Someone said that he might have a two year recovery, so this might cost him a lot of money.

Has anything been said yet about his show? Mayor of Kingstown? Will he be replaced or the show cancelled?

Of course now Renner (and his publicist) have declared him a hero who "saved the life of his nephew"...yawn. I don't believe it. Dumbass should have used the emergency brake. Closet queen.

His nephew or his 'nephew', R20? Inquiring minds...
