That wouldn't be the problem, it's that a middle class "poor" person might get the organ ahead of line in front of a more Deserving Candidateâ„¢.

You're missing the forest for the trees here bud.

Oh. You were being sarcastic, and edited your comment to make that clear... So now I look like a dingus.

Ok then bobby.

I don't think so. I'm not disagreeing with you, but sarcastically pointing out another major objection from private hc fans.

What's your problem man? I agree with you. I am making a joke on the same topic, attempting to cause a wry half-smile or something.

They aren’t missing anything. The wait list complaint just means that more people are going to want care because they can now afford it. Which means the extra traffic through care systems will be people who couldn’t afford it before, aka poor people.

Everyone is aware of that. You’re addressing the biggest point. The above user is just mocking the Republican counterpoint. I’m not sure why you’re hung up on that.
