So they lumped together car crashes, falls and gunshot wounds and then pretended to adjust the data to "take into account the severity of the injuries"?
This is probably how they fudged the data, by purporting to equate a category like "gunshot wounds" with "automobile crashes" as equally severe.
So the problem of the gang-banging underclass becomes a problem of "lack of health insurance" and "not enough money spent on hospitals treating them."
And if we just pass nationalized health care, then "severe" inner-city gunshot victims will have the same survival rate as "severe" suburban auto crash victims! It's magic!
The “researcher” cited as a senior author of the study is an advocate of Obamacare and a talked about replacement for Teddy’s seat.
