Dear LORD,
Please make a way where there is no way for this young girl. YOU promise, “I know the plans I have for you, plans for good and not for evil to give you a future and a hope.
In JESUS name we pray. Amen.

Hope this bitch sleeps well at night. Some day she will pay the price herself.

I wonder if the Organ Transplant bureaucracy is the same as it is at the IRS, EPA, etc., where conservatives are abused and Leftists are favored.

Too bad they were not Democrat Donors

It appears that helps, under Obama’s thuggery

Unfortunately, in this case I believe Sebelius is right, for a couple of reasons (one of which she didn’t mean to prove). First, who should be bumped down the list so this girl can get the transplant? If she gets it, almost certainly someone else will die. Lungs are kind of odd, in that they don’t last very long in transplant situations. They start degrading, unlike other transplanted organs. After 5 or so years, the patient will need another transplant. So, this may only be prolonging the inevitable.

Second, while Sebelius has the authority to suspend the transplant rules, do we really want to further set the precedent of bureaucrats making the decisions instead of qualified medical authorities? I though that was one of the main objections to Ocare. The more exceptions we make, the more exceptions *can* be made. This time it might be a young girl. Next time it might be someone with political connections, or with more money, or the right political beliefs. And worse, the person who is chosen to get bumped down the list might be someone with the wrong beliefs, or who donated to the “wrong” party. I’d much rather that kind of thing get decided by a doctor on the basis of whether the transplant makes medical sense, than on any other factor.

This is sick. This is a decision that should be made by the parents (or patient if they are of sound mind or age) and their doctors only and if there is a chance to save her life, it should be tried if possible. I fear for my mother, she is fighting breast cancer, she will be 75 this year, I hope she kicks this before the full Bammycare goes into effect next year. I would not want a job like this, let's put it this way, I would be afraid of ticking the wrong person or people off. Think this way, could you imagine if healthcare was denied to a Tony Soprano or a member of his family?

Prayers up for this girl.

Thank heaven for Sebelius! She’s so kind to do the work of an entire Obamacare Death Panel, all by herself.
So efficient and respectful of our tax money.
So refreshing.
Three cheers for Sebelius the Saver!

We're finally using Alinsky tactics against the Alinskyites; pick the target, freeze it, and personalize it.

This is a tactic we should use every day against Obamacare. It's a sitting duck now,

Let’s put Sebelius on the list for a heart transplant. She needs one badly. Not looking good for the OCare death panels, is it?

I hate Sebelius and the HHS should be terminated but the Federal government doesn’t need to be involved in this. Like everything else they need to stay out of people’s personal lives period.

You can’t pick and choose when you want the Federal government to step in because these types of individual cases is what got us into the mess were in as a nation. Look at Obamacare, a bullshxt piece of legislation because our supposed representatives wanted everyone to have insurance and look at the mess we have.

Laws based on what is perceived as a need of the moment from emotional not rational thought. So they change the law to allow the transplant for 10 year olds.. what about 9, 8, 7, 6 etc? Where does it end? Cover everyone.. you can’t and there’s not enough lungs. What about all other transplants? The list goes on.

And I do care but it’s life. I lost a sister in law to Cystic Fibrosis 20 years ago also awaiting a lung transplant at age 24 but was too week for the operation.

Braking personal preference Sebelius says she will defer to the experts.
How convenient.

I have a stupid question: Can they cram adult-sized lungs into that little body if they had some?
