/^t/To many people health has the highest price. Unfortunately, they are unable to see that health can be preserved only with the support of money. Wholesome food, recommended a lot nowadays, is said to be one of the factors ensuring people's health. Nevertheless, feeding well costs a lot as a diet of low fat, sugar free products rich in vitamins is quite expensive for average people. Apart from eating wholsome food, practising sports is treated as another factor to guarantee fitness. Beneficial results of practising sports cannot be called in question, but for example skiing, playing tennis or riding a horse are quite expensive again. Without money there is no chance of maintaining good condition. Still, more serious problems arise when seriously ill people need hospital treatment and professional care, but they do not have money to cover all the expenses connected with curing their illnesses. What about people for whom expensive transplantations of organs could be the only salvation of their lives? They die because they do not have money to buy a new heart or a kidney that could at least prolong their lives. In this way one can dare a statement that there is no life without money.
