Some interesting tidits:
From 2000 to 2004, the US added 5,971,223 people to the ranks of the uninsured population. Texas alone increased its uninsured population by 825,635. Comparitively, New York's uninsured population DROPPED by 351,547.
The most murderous states are Louisiana, Maryland and New Mexico
The 'most trigger happy' states are Alaska, Louisiana and Wyoming.
DC is #1 on both of these statistics. It's amazing to see the Rocky Mountain states skyrocketing up the list when looking at firearm death rates, as opposed to homicides with a firearm.
Rocky Mountain states also lead the US in suicide rate.
Just a few interesting things to come across in a very addictive resource.
