Currently, there is an age limit at which heart transplants will not be done. A friend showed me a picture of a 90 year old man who is a pianist ---several years ago he was expected to die due to heart failure-----somehow his son was able to work around the requirement on age and got a heart transplant for his father in his mid 80's at the time. The old gentleman functions well and is back to playing the piano. May we all be so fortunate. Under HIllary's system the following would likely be the outcome as noted by the writers of the article "For the first time, the word "no" would come into our system. Do you need open heart surgery? Are you a poor risk because of smoking or diabetes or age? No longer would the bureaucrat at the other end of the phone say "we won't pay for it" or "you don't need it" or "we can't fit you in at our facility." The answer would simply be no -- even if you pay for it yourself, you may not have one. It is this type of coercion that drives Canadians over the border to the U.S. in search of medical options denied them at home under their socialized medical structure. Now it would operate on both sides of the border." mj
