Editor's note:By Aitana Vargas | Images by Aníbal Martel This story was co-published with WHYY's The Pulse. The project was supported by the journalism non-profit the Economic Hardship Reporting Project and The Commonwealth Fund. This story first appeared on palabra, the digital news site by the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. The first time that Diego López was shot was in the 1990s. His body was shielded from the bullet, thanks to his leather jacket.

El precio de la violencia armadaEl costo económico de la violencia armada puede ser astronómico. Las intervenciones quirúrgicas, a las que López se sometió tras recibir el cuarto disparo, le costaron a su seguro cerca de $100.000. Aun así, él tuvo que abonar un copago que lo puso en una situación económica comprometida. Aunque los costos médicos varían según el tipo de lesión y la duración del tratamiento, Santiago Nazario explica que ha visto facturas que ascienden o superan los $200.000.

The financial cost of gun violence can be astronomical. López’s fourth gunshot wounds and surgeries resulted in close to $100,000 in billing to his insurer. The deductible he had to pay left him in a tough money spot, he recalls. While health care costs vary by type of injury and treatment length, Santiago Nazario says she has seen bills of $200,000 and higher. “Money becomes the barrier to mental health and physical health for our Latino community, and it's heartbreaking,” Santiago Nazario says.
