Ultimately, someone has insurance and your medical bills would be paid for. I think most of us here have medical insurance or can make claims under medicaid/medicare. The shooter probably will have homeowner's insurance to protect themselves. Most decent jobs have disability insurance. All businesses have some type of insurance. The hospital wants to get paid so they will assist the homeless man in filing out the state medicare/medicaid forms and they will be compensated. So someone is going to pay your bills...
I am not sure folks are being realistic. The HMO that I worked for for over 11 years had an entire department collecting 3rd party liability payments through law suits. If the person that got shot doesn't sue you, their insurance group most likely will to recover their losses. This is not a new American mindset, people that have injured another are liable and this is a very old concept.
