How the heck does Kathleen Sibelius have the authority to say whether or not anyone gets a transplant?
welcome to obamacare..we will have to go to court to get what we need
I feel a great deal of sympathy for this child and her family, but I can’t help but wonder if her being pushed to the front of the line didn’t push someone else out of it.
Sebelius needs a heart transplant. The one she has is a cold stone.
The child is in surgery now. They say it will take upwards of 12 hours. May our Lord watch over her and bring her to good health.
God bless the child and her family. Prayers up!
Thank the good Lord and scrooge you KS. Life and love triumphs over evil.
Sebelius sghould have been made the donor, and no anesthesia during lung removal. Black-hearted B*TCH!
Outstanding! Prayer answered. Now, prayers up to God in Heaven that the operation might be successful!
Not sure if this had anything to do with Obamacare. Aren’t these rules already in place (by medical professionals)? Aren’t there are reasons for the age requirements when it comes to adult lungs? Sebelius staying out of this was the right thing. God bless this family, they accomplished something we all would try to do for our children.
I am praying for the little girl.
Blessings to the family who gave the little girl a chance of life.
Thinking about all others who are in need of a miracle.
I pray they put these young children on the organ list permanently not just by court order. Right now, the court had a say though after Obamacare takes hold, no court would be able to over say or protect anyone from the death panels.
“Because of the complexity of the transplant surgery and the almost guaranteed post-surgery immune system rejection, the long-term survival for lung transplant patients isn’t as long as those who have received other types of organs like kidneys, livers, etc.”
Prayers for this girl. This is a highly risky procedure. Cystic Fibrosis is a horrible condition where the lungs constantly ‘gum up’ to where they can’t process oxygen from the air.
In the end it’s a Zero Sum Game.
A. Someone had to die for Sarah to get the lung transplant.
B. The fact that a federal judge had to intervene in an establish process of prioritizing organs made available for process means that some other person was moved down the list and will likely die as a result of the judge’s decision.
Praying for Sarah, her family, and her donor’s family. God bless them all!
Sarah Palin was being optimistic when she warned us about death panels.
There’s a chance that a panel will have at least one or two humane individuals on it; but if everything’s going to be left to the tender mercies of a single bureaucratic tyrant like Kathleen Sebelius, we’re in much more serious trouble than we feared.
It seems that God has smiled on his young lady. He will not do the same to Sibelius!
God Bless little Sarah..she is in surgery right now..pray that she can accept these new lungs and have a chance at a normal life..and pray for the family who lost a loved one and gave this most amazing gift
They were right to criticize Sarah Palin. There are no death panels. A panel implies more than one person is involved. Clearly, that is not the case
