Nope, they would still be getting shot and knifed. And how many
actually
do not have insurance? If you are on welfare, the state pays for your
medical costs.

That's completely besides the point and you know it. If the same
number were shot and stabbed, whether they be perps or innocent
victims, there'd be less congestion at the county trauma centers if
insured were treated at every hospital with an ER.

Most people who go to the ER are not indigent. This has been repeated
any number of times in the stats but, evidently, your case is wearing
so thin you're having to repeat erroneous information.

Try again if you must or just watch some television. For you, it's
time better spent.


I still hate to trust a statistic like this without a little more
information about where the data came from, what was the most
prevalent causes of death and things like that.
Bad things tend to happen to poor people more than the more affluent.



80%+ who have no health ins. are working and above the poverty line. This
has been known for quite some time.
