Why Health Care is Cheap in Canada - The Value of a human life is $1.33
Canada Red Cross used HIV blood
The gist is that the Red Cross up there messed up and distributed HIV positive and Hepatitis infected blood and 3,000 people died as a result. In the ensuing case, it was found they were negligent and they face a fine of $4,000. That means they are liable for $1.33 per person killed.
In the US if they did this, do you think they'd get by with only a $4,000 slap?

I think the death of 3,000 people in the infection of HIV positive and Hepatitis is very shocking news.

I think the limited medical access to medical facilities and the bad reliance of the service are mainly responsible for this situation.
