ZphiB, it’s not about who pays for the procedure. It’s already established she had a sponsor who was taking care of the bill. So try to let that go for the moment.

If the girl had cancer, we probably wouldn’t be so upset because there’s plenty of cancer doctors and cancer drugs here in the US to go around. If you’ve got money, then crawl fly or swim over and feel free to contribute those dollars to our economy.

It’s not about that.

It’s about 1 heart being available and 2 people needing it. Who do you give it to? The guy who played by all the rules his whole life and contributed his share to the community? Or the girl who never contributed a single thing but managed to get her name on the list and managed to sneak in illegally?

Do you really not see a difference between the cancer scenario and the transplant scenario?

To ladybug’s point…
For the sake of a strong society, I am willing to contribute some of my tax dollars to help pay for healthcare for people who can’t afford it. But when people sneak into this country, never contribute a dime to the pot, THEN show up and want free medical care, you bet that pisses me off.
