Lasting Effects of the A-Bomb

http://www.japantoday.com/jp/news/431338
Japan recently expanded the eligibility for medical benefits of those who may be suffering the lasting effects of the atomic bomb. The length of time and geography are being broadened, so that now more people who suffer from certain specific diseases are able for government benefits not before afforded. For me, this is really interesting. Although the bombs were dropped during an officially declared war, and may have been necessary, it is interesting to see that Japan is still dealing with the lasting effects of it while they continue to trade heavily with the United States.
