Concerned researchers point to animal studies that indicate that even low-dose exposure to BPA may be associated with a variety of ills, including cancer and reproductive problems. But defenders - most prominently the chemical industry itself - argue that the average dose of BPA is far too low to be toxic, and that in any case, there have never been human studies implicating the chemical as dangerous.

...provision of preventive care, a crucial factor in identifying high-risk patients at an early age and steering them towards lower-risk lifestyles. This alone would likely save millions of dollars down the road, given the sadly preventable nature of many First World diseases, such as heart disease and cancer. Any talk of discrimination from the Marxist and populist critics could be easily dismissed—after all, this is a conscious choice that a taxpayer has to make in order to save money...
