Kenneth Berry can feel the bullets in his body move. One jiggles down his leg toward his ankle; another presses on his sciatic nerve; a third has migrated to his hip.
The three bullets have been inside Mr. Berry, 41, for more than two decades, pumped into him when he was a teenager near St. Louis.
Now, after years without health coverage, besieged by untreated nerve painand hunched over a cane, he finally has the golden ticket to get the medical procedures that will bring relief: a Medicaid card.
