Thats not socialized medicine. We won’t even give livers to heavy drinkers.
They’re in universal short supply. Socialized or not.
+1. I don’t see this as a “socialized medicine” issue. A 22-year-old who willfully trashes his own liver ought to be at the abolsolute bottom of the transplant list, regardless of who’s paying for it.
Exactly.
There are only so many livers, unless you had a family member or friend willing to donate part of theirs to you, you wouldn’t get any liver in the US here if this was your case.
So you’re saying Mickey Mantle wasn’t a lush?
