You see, Allan had Cystic Fibrosis and this lung transplant would have "cured" him - giving him a 60% survival rate. Alan had no health insurance, so he was dependant upon Medicaid, which denied payment to cover the procedure, calling a 60% chance of survival a "poor outcome considering the cost of the surgery, which was $400,000.

Oh, Honeykiss, that's just
obscene!!! I know people who are on Medicaid who were artificially inseminated (as if that's a top priority!) - Allan should have had priority over people like that!!
The concept of governmental medicine scares the spit out of me!!
