How Much Is A Human Life Worth?

In today's environment, where jobs are being cut, families are scrounging to get by, public assistance programs are being cut, and personal net worths have suffered a severe hit, President Obama is pushing health care reform.  I certainly agree that something has to be done.  Exactly what is a debate for another day.  What I want to write about is something that I thought about while shaking my head at the mobs yelling about "death panels" and "rationing".  

Of course, any organized insurance plan has a list of things that they will pay for.  In the private insurance field, it's called a formulary.  If your preferred pill is on the formulary, they will pay X amount per prescription.  If your pill is not on that list, they usually won't pay a dime.
