no insurance=death

is it right that some-one with liver failure should die because they can't afford a transplant?My friend nic is 26 and has not long to live. Medicaid won't insure transplants in those over 21. His family had to come up with as much cash as is humanly possible and still they're short $25,000. They won't operate without the full amount. The fact that it costs 300 grand is outrageous to begin with. The surgeons should do it pro bono. There should be a surgeons pool where they all put in their names and when cases like nic's arrise, they pull a surgeon from the pool and they just do it!!Not all their work should be for free, but some of it definately should be. Our Healthcare system is very very broken, and i fear i shall lose a dear friend to it if we can't find 25 grand.Anyone with that kind of cash need a tax deduction?
