We must put a price on life because we don't have the resources to take every measure to make things safer. It's just a fact of life. Anyone who denies this is just deluding themselves.

If you think this is bad in aviation, try medcine.

Ever wonder why you can't afford insurance?

Because thousands of people say "you can't put a price on a human life"

Out of every $100 spent on health care in this country, $75 are spent in the last year of a persons life. In the last two months $40.

That's the percentage of your insurance bill and Medicaid that is going to people who are going to die anyway.

Every ER in America losses money for the hospital.


30% of every health care dollar goes to cover the malpratice insurance of the provider.

There is not a transport jet out there that would NOT have broken with the forces involved on this accident. Not one.

Also, the aircraft on its tail was not the accident airplane. That rumor surfaced very early in the investigation and was fully explored.

I couldn't agree more. That's why I've instructed my family to handle me like we've handled older pets over the years. Just put me to sleep when I get too old and miserable.

Since then I've had to stay alert, but at least it keeps me moving.
