At the time his condition got worse. Not that I wish this on you, but if you had the same condition and were at end stage, guess what? You'd be put in the priority list.

Some folks even "jump" further ahead by being so sick, they are in the Emergency list.

This is one of the few blind systems, by design by the way.

People should really get informed, on the off chance they might chose to sign a donor card, or worst, qualify for the system.

The only advantage, which is ironic actually, that dick has, is that he a poster child for single payor.

I don't know about you, but I really do not want medical decisions made on political party, or religious believes, or skin color.

We have been there as a country...is there where you want to go back?
