Re: Competition affects who gets a liver transplant
Liver transplant recepients do better in 3 countries with universal healthcare. We have to ask why. I suspect it is because they don't have to worry about lifetime expensive immunosuppressive drugs. Only in this country, despite having health iinsurance , do our transplant recepients have to beg strangers to finance their transplant. Until PPACA, a transplant recipient would use up their lifetime liimit on their health insurance, now that it has been abolished by PPACA, we might see better outcomes. ( I have had patients stop their 10 grand a month immunosuppressives because they can't afford them after meeting their lifetime limit of 2 million).
