If an avowed Alchy like David Crosby can get one.. why could she not be allowed?
I hate the thought of Socialized Medicine but with the Morons we are cropping out of Government Schools and the ridiculous amount of useless Government workers and regulations that contradict each other...
We just have to get Our Act together and get rid of these Unions and these A holes that can’t find their ass from their Elbows!

GRRRRRRRR!

There is no civil right to a liver transplant.
There is a right to expect insurance companies to meet the obligations of their contract with the insured. Of course she died while the insurance company bickered over the legal details of her policy. On the other hand there is no civil right for stockholders to make a profit, especially by sandbagging patient care decisions.

Just for reference, in 2005 H Edward Hanway, CEO of Cigna, was paid $1 million in Salary, $2.6 million in bonuses. $7.9 million in "other" compensation, and 1.7 million in market gains from the stock the company most likely gave him. I'm glad they were able to save some money on a Liver Transplant so they could pay his meager salary.
