You know, the medical establishment seems to think health is very valuable. They demonstrate that by making huge sums of money practicing medicine and providing medical service.

But when the doctors trash your health, suddenly they, the insurance companies and George Bush all agree that no physical affliction can diminish your hapiness to a degree worth more than $250,000.
