I cannot believe that his lifestyle had nothing to do with this heart condition. Most of the time criminals engage in immoral practices, i.e. gay sex, drug use. We cannot be replacing their organs, especially when in the lockup.

I'll accept that drug use can cause problems, but gay sex leads to heart conditions? That's a new one on me.

It's also a pretty sweeping and likely wholly inaccurate generalization to assume that all criminals are exactly alike, regardless of their crimes.

I think that medical care should have been provided only if his family could have afforded it -- I don't care for state-funded medical care for convicts, at least not of this level.

Viral induced cardiomyopathy does occur, not necessarily from HIV, more like a helacious case of influenza.
