7. In the case of a traumatic wounding such as this event, ALL people would receive top notch care

with little (no?) regard to their ability to pay, but once they were released, their medical nightmares would start.

Recovery from bullet wounds is not what we see on TV..

nerve damage/cartilage damage, bone damage often takes YEARS to heal, and even healed is never 100%..

Persistent pain can dog a person for the rest of their lives.. Jobs may be lost due to the injury, and with it, the ability to HAVE insurance.
