Interesting story here from The AP on the financial cost of gun violence, especially when it comes to caring for survivors. Snip:
In a 1999 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Cook and his colleagues concluded that gunshot injuries in the United States in 1994 produced $2.3 billion in lifetime medical costs.
Taxpayers footed half of that through Medicaid, Medicare, workers' compensation and other programs.
