And more likely than not, that kidney was actually not very compatible with the patient. Not only are Americans being denied organs because illegals are moved to the very top of the waiting lists ahead of Americans, the policies for cadaver donors is actually not to always give them to the most compatible patient but they will actually give them to someone who is not a good match for political correctness reasons -- knowing the kidney will not last long in the patient.

No way should illegals be moved ahead of Americans in the organ transplant lines.
Their own country does organ transplants, that is where they should go for these procedures.
How about we let private hospitals decide who they treat, as opposed to have the government dictate it. Would that make sense to you? Apparently not.
Not if that hospital accepts Medicaid and Medicare patients. If they are providing free care to an illegal, they are simply passing on the costs for his free care over to the paying insured patients. There are also laws about that -- giving one patient a different price based on that patient's race or ethnicity, providing him a free surgery --- when they will not offer free care to every patient based on their race or ethnicity.
It sounds extremely unethical -- that a hospital is offering free care to *some* based on their nationality but price gouging others. I'll bet you anythng the doctors and administrators of that hospital aren't working for free -- all they did was raise the costs of the insured patients, which makes their insurance premiums go sky high.
That does NOT make the surgery free. She could have gone home to her own country and done that -- it's actually a lie that Mexico does not perform organ transplant surgeries. Reading Comprehension: F --- this surgery wasn't free at all.
Nor will his medications be free and how is an illegal going to pay for expensive medications?
Illegals should not be given health care ahead of American citizens. They can go home and get all the free health care they want there.
Yes -- and how many Americans died for lack of even one liver transplant?
They put the illegals ahead of Americans. Ethnicity and national origin definitely are used to discriminate against those of USA citizenship, if someone wants a free organ transplant, all they have to do is come to the USA illegally and they will be put at the top of the list -- while Americans die.
