Maybe if you're not one of that 0.1% of the population. If you were one of those 6M you'd be wanting more restrictions. I don't like the idea of more government regulations and higher prices any more than the next person but I don't think it's right to put a $ amount on human life. An older friend of mine was hospitalized early last week for pneumonia. By Thursday they had sent him home because medicare wouldn't cover him staying any longer. Government and insurance companies have more power anymore than the treating physicians and that's not right.
