This guy had not been sentenced to death. To deny him care that would prevent his death would be imposing such a sentence.

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.

Sure... but what about the people on organ waiting lists who have been sentenced to death because of the lack of organs available, as they wait and wait and wait...? We need to prioritize...

Neither was he sentanced to life by tax payer funded operation!!!!!

Wrong. You get the health care you can afford. Just like you get the kind of car you can afford, the type of home, etc.

If the con can afford the transplant, I might consider it.

The argument that "This guy had not been sentenced to death. To deny him care that would prevent his death would be imposing such a sentence" would apply anybody. Do we offer unlimited health-care to every citizen, or even every indigent citizen? Not yet, at least not before President Hillary Clinton institutes it.

Everyone lives with their decisions. This con could have done what I presume you and what I know others do---get a job, buy insurance, abide by the law, save your money, and when you're old, what you have done---even your lifestyle decisions---will determine the care you can afford to purchase.

I am ashamed you are even calling yourself a Auburn Grad if you caint see why this makes no sense. I have a transplanted heart. I saw 14 people die while I was on the donor list. That included three children.Maybe a child dies because they gave a heart to a two time looser. The after care for a new heart is a rigrious schedule. I predict right now that this idiot wont live a year after getting out because of what it takes.
