Lung transplants for everyone!

Late last week the right tried to make hay with a story about a ten-year-old girl with Cystic fibrosis who needs a lung transplant, but regulations put her on a child lung list rather than the adult list. The parents spoke before HHS head Sebelius, who rightly said she wasn't going to make an exception and have someone else lose the lungs.

A decent setup, but the right didn't count on how many of their base have needed transplants and so actually understand the system. Freepers tried to gin up some outrage, but it's mostly dissolute:

Ann Archy knows paranoia can make anything sinister!
Medical care will NOT be given to anyone who doesn’t vote for and give money to Democrats.
Diogenesis prefers to just yell about the racist blacks running America:
Please. The problem is that she is WHITE.

I grew up in a relatively color blind America
which is now racist and controlled by a racist DO”J”
(where whites are ignored and “told” to simply
die in Holder-directed and Holder-encouraged
BOW violence).
MamaTexan won't allow facts to interfere!
Medically, Sebelius is probably correct; she probably consulted with people who told her that the difference in lung size between a child and adult or adolescent is too great and that such an operation would be unsuccessful.

Highly doubtful she contacted a single soul, and with the track record for Dems doing nothing for anyone who can't do anything for them, I'm unwilling to give them the benefit of the doubt.

They enjoy playing God way too much for that.
bert doesn't know what courts do:
The logical extreme and Americans love extreme everything, is the health court. As soon as the bureaucrats deny, the claim is put to the court.

The court decides between life and money
TribalPrincess2U doesn't understand humor:
I’m anxious to see how many liberals post their little pictures of Kathleen Sebelius with her saying ‘she can’t intervene’, like they did Rubio drinking water.

Zero! If anything, leftist rag will spin it as usual.
