Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.) bitten by rabid fox in DC... [View all]
He'll be fine, as he was immediately treated, but rabies is fatal in almost 100% of untreated cases.
60,000 people a year are exposed to rabies, and many pay over $6,000 plus ER an other bills. Bera is proposing a bill to pay for this.
"Costs should never be a barrier for individuals seeking life-saving treatment.”
