2) "the ability to conduct a life that is as socially and economically rewarding as available physical and financial resources will allow." (American Board of Internal Medicine [ABIM] Conference on Health)

3) "the condition of being sound in body, mind, and spirit, especially free of disease or infirmity." (Webster's Dictionary)

Which definition of "Health" do you think is the most appropriate goal for America and why? Explain your choice in terms of cost, fairness, feasibility, as well as personal (the patient) and societal responsibility.
