White House Black Market

It is said that you cannot put a price tag on your health. Yet as anyone in the healthcare industry knows, you can most certainly put a price tag on a service rendered to restore health. In fact, there are thousands of medical treatment procedures that have been categorized, coded, grouped, and assigned a price.

Since the cost to restore a person's health has risen dramatically in recent years, it should follow that the value of our health has risen in proportion. What do you think? Do you feel like your life has increased in value to keep pace with medical expenses? Or are we handing a disproportionate amount of wealth over to the healthcare machine? The correlation is a bit of a stretch, but the point is, the freedom to be healthy probably shouldn't cost so much. "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

On the bright side, we finally found the Weapons of Mass Destruction. They were buried in the U.S. Economy.
