Well, why am I not surprised.
The transplant drugs are the most worrisome and I think you’ll see a curtailment of just who will receive transplants. I could fore-see transplants being simply outlawed due to the extreme costs for drug maintenance...unless those who are extremely wealthy can afford them.
Stop paying for transplant drugs...say for kidneys and people will go onto permanent dialysis...which may actually be cheaper than the drugs. In general, as I’ve observed in my years as an RN, transplanted kidneys don’t seem to last more than 5-7 years with frequent hospitalizations due to infections especially fungal as the rejection meds really play havoc with immune functioning. Many substance abusers are found in that bunch especially kidney transplantees, who continue to abuse after the fact...then lose their new kidneys(hence going onto dialysis). They continue to have multiple hospitalizations not so much because of dialysis issues but because they continue to substance abuse and not stick to their diets. Their AV grafts get infected, some of them, because they continue to inject drugs into themselves with dirty needles.
There was always going to be a come to “Jesus” rethink anyway as to how to manage the whole transplant and transplant donor mess in this country. I’m just sorry for the responsible patients who also being caught up in the same general Obama-”noncare” net!
