Benjamin Rush wanted to put it in there, but he was over ruled.


The Declaration of Independence talks about "life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness." You don't have much of any of those if you're
dead because your insurance company finds that you didn't report an
antibiotic that you took for acne when you were 14 and cancels your
insurance when you get a cancer diagnosis, just for example.
