BREAKING!! - Here come the DEATH PANELS!! ObamaCare DENIES critical life saving organ transplant for 10 YEAR OLD GIRL because shes TOO YOUNG!!
Current Health Care Laws under the so called "Affordable Care Act" now dictate that to be eligible for an adult Organ Transplant, one must be more then 12 years old!

Enter little Sarah Murnaghan, a 10-year-old girl dying of cystic fibrosis and a critical life saving lung transplant is waiting to happen for her.

But now, the Department of Health and Human Services that now under the new federal ObamaCare Law oversees organ transplant cases which are now required to have direct approval from the Department Director... whom is Kathleen Sebelius...

...and according to her, this girl is not eligible for this critical life saving operation...

BECAUSE SHE IS TOO YOUNG!!!

WTF!!

Here come the Death Panels! Now you have to meet a certain AGE REQUIREMENT to be eligible for critical life saving organ transplants!!

Before the days our Great and Dear Leader, His Supreme Highness the Beloved Messiah, Caesar Barackus Obamus.... this little girl would have been rush to a Hospital the very moment an eligible donor became available, REGARDLESS of who that donor was!!

Its because of the fact that its less n a 50% chance, and if the surgery fails or the lung doesnt take, thats a healthy lung that would have had a 80% chance of being successful.

What good is a 12 year old to the democrats? She can't vote. She can't join the gestapo. She's dead weight. Sure, they'll invest a little in brainwashing her at school, but she isn't worth a hundred grand. That kind of money can finance an Islamic rebellion for weeks.

Get used to this type of story.

These cowardly Democrat extremists will always hide behind the bureaucracy, which is why they created it in the first place.

BUT, we get the govt we deserve. The only thing that can save our country and wake the sheeple up is complete economic collapse, starting with the stock market.
The Right Policy is Always Conservative

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President." - Vaclav Klaus

There are people ahead of her on the list. What they are asking is for her to move ahead of all of the people who were waiting longer. This could cause someone else to die instead. So the only "death panel" is being pushed by the GOP which is trying to save the child and let someone else die in order to score political points by pinning the decision on Sebelius, who can't change the rule anyway.

No you don't have to remove ribs, for an "adult" transplant. Doctors have been doing this for years without complications...

Until now!

Enter the complication of POLITICS!!

This girls Doctors are claiming this little girl only has 2 - 3 weeks left to live, if she does not get this transplant!

Yeah, so it turns out this hasn't actually got anything to do with Obamacare whatsoever:

[link to www.pennlive.com]

Janet Murnaghan said Sarah has been awaiting a transplant from a pediatric donor and is also eligible for a lung from an adult donor. Under a policy instituted in 2005, organ allocation policies are supposed to be based on severity of illness rather than the amount of time on the waiting list, but that approach only applies to patients over the age of 12. Sarah is a top priority on the pediatric list, but officials say there are far fewer pediatric donors due to improved treatment.

Better luck next time eh, fellas?

Re: BREAKING!! - Here come the DEATH PANELS!! ObamaCare DENIES critical life saving organ transplant for 10 YEAR OLD GIRL because shes TOO YOUNG!!
The funny thing is that the current transplant policy was drawn up (in 2005) by members of the OPTN, who are medical doctors and came up with a policy that they believe will give most patients the greatest chance of surviving.

And now the Repuiblicans want Sebelius (a politician) to interfere in this decision making and bump the girl up the list, making a decision which could save her life but might also shorten the life of someone else.

So basically the Republicans want a politician to overrule the medical opinion of a doctor to decide if someone lives or dies.

Sounds a bit a death panel, right?
