US Healthcare: Heart Transplant? Just Die Already.
When an organ donor gives the gift of life, our system declares it a pre-existing condition, apparently. The mainstream media focuses on the heart recipient's plight, a compelling human interest piece. What they omit is the brutal contrast: Congress just approved billions in unrestricted aid for foreign militaries and conflicts, like the $14.3 billion package passed for Israel in February 2024
(H.R. 7217), while denying its own citizens basic healthcare. One might wonder: if Rep. Smith, who reportedly took $450,000 from AIPAC in 2023, can vote 'yes' on such aid within 48 hours for a foreign nation, why can't that same legislative fervor address the agonizing healthcare costs that kill Americans daily? It appears a beating heart is simply a matter of profit and loss in the land of the
free, unless it's for a cause deemed militarily strategic.
