C'mon FReepers- in this case someone is going to die. Either the little girl will die without the lungs or some adult will die without the lungs.

As long as you can get yourself a news story, you jump to the front of the line? It's an awful thing for ANYONE who dies before being able to obtain a transplant but I don't want the government to pick and choose at their discretion.

If the rule is unfair then change it. Later.

*The bureaucrats are now in God’s stead deciding who lives and who dies. The American demographic voted for those currently in positions of authority and due to degeneracy will not object but like brute beasts accept their lot.*

“That Sarah Palin was crazy with that talk of death panels!”

Meanwhile, we have a grey tribunal sitting on their lofty perches like characters in the Twilight Zone deciding a citizen's fate.

...Except it's not the Twilight Zone. It's actually happening now.

The signpost up ahead reads “Obamacare”

And yet they want Americans to pay the healthcare bills of illegal immigrants.

Sarah Palin's Facebook comment about Sibelius:

The government will bend the rules left and right to harass targeted taxpayers, conservative patriots, selected journalists, etc., but it will strictly exercise inconsistent and subjective rules to deny a child a shot at life. And they called us liars when we spoke of “death panels” – faceless bureaucrats coming between you and your doctor to make life and death decisions about a loved one’s survival. It doesn’t sound so far fetched anymore, does it?

- Sarah Palin

Yes, lots of authority delegated to the Secretary.

The problem is that the matter is left to the secretary and she has chosen to override the opinion of the attending physician.
