Tucson hospital: Patient denied transplant coverage dies

Tucson's University Medical Center confirmed today that a patient who was refused a liver transplant because of state budget cuts has died.

The death was "most likely" due to the defunding of the organ transplant, said Jo Marie Gellerman, University of Arizona Department of Surgery spokeswoman.

She could not release any further information about the patient, who was taken off the waiting list Oct. 1 when Arizona stopped paying for certain organ transplants for patients covered by Medicaid. The patient did not die at UMC but had been scheduled to have the transplant there.

The patient is the second person to reportedly die while waiting for one of the transplants that were cut.

Between 95 and 100 people were taken off a waiting list for organ transplants when the defunding took effect.

Incoming Democratic Senate Minority Leader David Schapira has pre-filed proposed legislation to restore the transplant coverage this legislative session. The coverage shortfall amounts to $4 million - about $1.4 million in state money and the rest in federal matching funds.

See Thursday's Arizona Daily Star for more on this story.

BrewerCare... focus on detaining legal Americans in lieu of healthcare since 2010.

My god you are so full of shit I bet you have brown eye's. You devils advocate act got old about 2 years ago

[Kazan]

So nothing else was released about the patient, would you feel the same way if say they were an alcoholic?

yes

[Kazan]

yes

Yeah bullshit, Someone drinks so much they burn their liver out and your going to cry that they couldn't get a transplant? I guess personal responsibility isn't in your vocabulary

[blacken700]

are you saying thats why he didn't get the liver

[Kazan]

are you saying thats why he didn't get the liver

Well we don't know now do we? That is the point the story doesn't give any back ground on the patient or why they needed a new liver, but now Arizona is evil once again

As soon as you can show me where it is written that anyone is entitled/guaranteed a organ transplant I will join in the condemnation.

Did I say they were an alcoholic? No I said would you have the same opinion if said person was an alcoholic, I guess reading comprehension isn't one of your strong points

If you're cool with Obamacare rationing

I'm not.  You should know from my post history that, while I shat upon repubs for not fixing healthcare in 12 years of congress and the number of americans without coverage INCREASING under Bush.... 

I was still against obamacare.

Soon there will be no point in having Medicaid or any other form of insurance.  There are endless limits and stipulations that can be applied to your coverage, all while raising your premium at the same time.  The consumer always loses when government and insurance are involved.

what you were implying is that he or she was a drunk and they put this on themselves

[Kazan]

what you were implying is that he or she was a drunk and they put this on themselves

Wasn't implying anything, the question was simple, apparently you seem to think that even if it is 100% your fault you are entitled to the government financing your healthcare needs.

Now go find the teacher that taught you reading/reading comprehension and punch them in the mouth, because they did a piss poor job.

Is your intention to derail or is it just in your DNA?

You know what go fuck your self I'm done trying to have a discussion with your ignorant ass. Your as useless as TA when it comes to redirecting everything away from the original argument.
