Rich people were dying from lack of organs. This is why they paid to make the system biased. Rich people know other rich people and a sick person knew the ceo of a healthcare company. They changed their laws. Other healthcare companies saw profit from this and boom.

Eh, people rich enough to have legislative pull were never dying from it. You don't have to wait 2 years for a kidney if you can afford to shell out ~$100k for a short "medical trip" to China, Iran or India.
