Well, folks, it's official. Today's Wall Street Journal reports on
a Harvard School of Public Health's Center for Risk Analysis that
concludes it's cheaper to let people get sick and then save them
medically than it is to prevent the disease in the first place
through workplace-safety or environmental measures.
For an antidote to the idiocy of risk assessment and cost-benefit
analysis, see various issues of RACHEL's Hazardous Waste News:
