-> only pointing out that someone who was next in line got bumped because of politics or cute factor or what ever.
She moved up because she was about to die. Do you realize the ratio that the donor lung was right for this child. If the government updates that policy, many names will be added to that list. When the next patient is the worse, they move up. When Obamacare starts, the government medical panels (not your personal doctor) will look at all cases (fairly ha) and determine who basically lives or dies. The individual care part is now gone now, you are just a number of liabilities. Smoker, you gone. Cancer patient, gone. No chance to continue to seek medical help. Obamacare. I don’t understand why people have to get angry about the little girl. When the death panels begin, going to be a lot of anger.
From what I read, there was a separate waiting list for children under 12. Problem is there are few under 12 donors. The family just wanted to merge lists. That offended the bureaucracy which will defend to the death (yours) their right to be wrong.
