Wonderful news! And, hope all goes well for this family going forward.

That said, I’m a bit surprised at the level of vitriol directed at Sebellius over this, from so-called conservatives. I don’t think that her intervening in the situation would have been a good thing - it would have risked setting a precedent that people/families who make more noise and are more politically connected get better outcomes. Not a good precedent to set.

Wonderful news!

Not when you consider that the supply of organs is always shorter than the list of recipients. What is "wonderful news" for one family is tragic news for another. You hit the nail on the head when you said

It appears that this is exactly what happened.

It wasn't so much her involvement or lack there of, it was her comment about “some live, some die”. She just proved that she believes herself to be the sole arbiter of life and death (Single Member Death Panel)
