Suffering is good for you

Having earlier pointed out examples of disastrous Islamist opposition to vaccination (such as this), it's worth also noting this equally nutzoid invocation of Christianist masochism as an argument against health-care reform. I don't even want to think about how this mentality will react to SENS.

Any politician who does adopt the slogan "pain may be good for you" is certainly not getting my vote, and probably not many others.
