I just read this article for the first time today. I would consider this a "must read" for anyone who plans on getting into reptiles in general. In addition to bites and medical bills there are numerous legal matters to deal with whether anyone is bitten or not.
States are making it harder for all of us to keep venomous reptiles. Doing so where you are not supposed to can make a "criminal" out of you real fast. You can lose your snakes, your freedom and tons of money trying to beat the system. I've seen it happen.
My personal opinion is that dogs, horses and cattle are far more dangerous than snakes to a trained keeper. But, try telling your local government that and you won't be able to. Even if you don't fear being bitten, fear being caught if you are keeping anything you are not supposed to. Be as legal as possible and most of all keep your critters out of public view. You might be amazed at how many people would love to turn you in and sit back an laugh while you go down. I've seen that happen too.
