As ThinkProgress has reported, Gov. Jan Brewer (R-AZ) and the GOP-controlled state House have turned a blind eye to the plight of 98 Arizona patients in desperate need of organ transplants. <span style='font-size: 17pt'>Since Brewer enacted painful cuts to the state’s Medicaid program in October, two Arizonans unable to pay for the transplants they needed passed away.</span> After months of appeals and protests, it appears Brewer has finally agreed to set aside a <u>$151 million “uncompensated-care pool </u>to pay health-care providers for ‘life-saving’ procedures, including transplants.” </div></div>
So, by not funding transplants she sent two people to their deaths. Now that's what I call a real <u>DEATH PANEL</u>...... <u><span style="color: #993399">[ of ONE....Q ]</span></u>
Can't wait to hear what Palin has to say about this.
