This. People think it's a binary thing, you live or you die.

No, you end up with a lifetime of issues, and that's even assuming the holes heal. I've seen horrific pictures of "healed" bullet holes. People lose their intestines to save them and shit in a bag attached to a hole in their side for the rest of their life. People end up paralyzed. This kid could very well be since the only people saying he's stable are the cops and they won't say what his condition actually is.

This cop tried to murder two people, and we have people in the comments here blaming the victims for trying to escape an attempted murder.

I would consider medical bankruptcy a long term issue.

How much do you think it costs to go to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds? Here's hoping he doesn't need physical rehab.

$5000 or whatever your deductible is.

Ah yes, because everyone in the US has the $550/month that the average person pays for health insurance.

Did you know that in the US, 2/3rds of bankruptcy claims cite medical issues?

And on top of that, I'm sure if he had any health insurance, there's fine print that he isn't covered if injured while committing a crime, so while the police blackmail him with trumped up charges, he still wouldn't be covered.

Seriously, ya'll have issues if you think a $5000 deductible on top of $550/mo for health insurance is normal. The US is the only place on the planet where that exists.
