Cream and Munchkin,

The difference is that the Shah of Iran, King Hussein of Jordan, the conjoined twins, etc. didn't receive their medical care in lieu of someone else. Fortunately, in most cases we have enough resources to treat both the rich imports and the working class homegrown for what ails them. So treating the Shah didn't deprive another needy person of quality care. And I'm fine with that, as long as they pay their bill.

Transplants are obviously the exception because they are in very limited supply. When you give an organ to one person, you effectively take it away from the next person on the list.

There's a big difference.
