After five years, most patients have a worse quality of life than they would have had they avoided the surgery. I see this kind of the same way I view tobacco subsidies. It makes no sense for us to spend taxpayer money on something that ultimately ruins people's health.

Buttars has any good ideas at all. As much as I don't like introducing ad hominems into the political sphere, it seems that the nickname "Nutter Buttars" isn't too far off the mark.
