So a patient comes into the ER who is very critical, they have a 20% chance of making it and treatment will be $250,000.00. Yet other than brain and soft tissue damage the patients organs are intact and healthy. I wonder what choice the triage team would make.

He's learned this from the organ harvesting in China. Communism/Evil known no national bounderies.

You forgot the next piece of the puzzle --

The patient is a tissue match for a wealthy campaign contributor or a politician who needs a transplant (probably liver).

Then you could ratchet the patient's chances to 50%, and the answer would still be to harvest from the poor soul, on the presumption that he or she would obviously consent to help the rich and powerful.
