The governor is wrong. We absolutely do put a dollar figure on human life.

We can save more lives by doing the lowest cost options to save lives.

Putting a cost on life is an everyday reality for a lot of jobs, actually.
Doctors, insurance actuaries, politicians, military leaders...

Money isn't infinite, and difficult choices have to be made on a daily basis.
