A comment on I shared my toddler's hospital bill on Twitter. Parent comment
We spend billions per American life saved on terrorism.
We regularly spend $50M / life on infrastructure; hundreds of millions on an overpass over a dangerous intersection to save a handful of lives.
We regularly force companies to spend well over $10M / life on health & safety regs.
Medicaid costs about $800K / life saved.
