I get the point but the gun stats are off by at least two orders of magnitude
Yeah 1 in 400 per day would be wild. Maybe in a war zone and even then…
I'm still trying to figure out how so many people afford health insurance. Anytime I tried to acquire it outside of work it was expensive, even through the ACA. When going through a company it is usually still shit. Expensive and covers hardly anything. What's the point in paying $3,000 a year and having a $5,000 deductible and not having enough days off to even schedule appointments? If I had an accident that cost me over $8,000 I likely was in a car accident, which is covered by car insurance then. Maybe in my 40s it'll seem like it was worth it.
It depends heavily on the State you live in and what your employer is willing to pay the insurance company. At my current job in my State, that $3000 per year would get me a $0 deductible. When I was below the poverty line, healthcare including dental through the state exchange was free (heavily subsidized to the point of being free, technically).
If you live in a predominantly red state that rejected federal funding or any kind of expansion under the ACA except what was required, it's definitely going to be shit.
