      That’s a lot higher than the US government values it.

      $50,000 per year of quality life (the "dialysis standard",[44] which had been a de facto international standard most private and government-run health insurance plans worldwide use to determine whether to cover a new medical procedure)[45]
      $129,000 per year of quality life (an update to the "dialysis standard")[46][45]
      $7.5 million (Federal Emergency Management Agency, Jul. 2020)[5]
      $9.1 million (Environmental Protection Agency, 2010)[47]
      $9.2 million (Department of Transportation, 2014)[48]
      $9.6 million (Department of Transportation, Aug. 2016)[49]
      $12.5 million (Department of Transportation, 2022)[50]
      $13.2 million (Department of Transportation, 2023)[50]
