...July, President Bush blithely reminded parents of this important recourse, telling them to “just go to the emergency room” if their child becomes deathly ill. Never mind that the typical emergency room visit costs several times more than a typical visit for preventive care, and hospitals that must swallow unpaid bills pass them along to paying customers.

Vasella came late to the business world but was introduced early to illness and adversity. Born in 1953 in Fribourg, Switzerland, the son of a history professor and the youngest of four children in a Catholic household, Vasella developed asthma at 5, then fell ill with tuberculosis and meningitis at 8, each time spending a year away from home in recovery.

Kapetanovic does a terrific job of enjoying his new found servant(s): “Moon-calf!” he calls it/them...
