“And I, in turn, knew that a self-righteous twit like you would show up, who is oh so generous when it comes to other peoples’ money.”

I see you have no answers to my questions. All you can do is call me names. My position is no more self-righteous than yours. Please tell me how transplants are any more generous with other people’s money than keeping preemies or vegetative people alive, both of which conservatives support?

Once again, in case you have trouble reading English, I do NOT believe the government should have any role in whether or not somebody donates an organ. It should be a private matter. Your post makes it sound like you don’t think it should happen at all. Should the government ban organ donation because it’s too expensive?

My answer is that, whether you like it or not, health care will ALWAYS be a limited resource, just like food, water, energy, etc.

When you make the decision to spend whatever it takes to save your favorite class of person, you are also making an unintended decision to deprive some other class of person that you don't care for so much of even minimal health care.

Even if we confiscated every penny of every person's paycheck to pay for health care, there would still be some people you could not save, and there would be a lot of people committing suicide because they cannot make ends meet.
