Reuters is reporting here that Arizona has restored funds to its state Medicaid program so that it will once again cover organ transplantation once again. See one of my previous posts here where I vociferously attacked the cuts and the humanity of all involved in letting a lady die as a result of the cuts.
Its good to see that the people of Arizona (as reflected by the action taken by their elected representatives) have taken appropriate action to rectify an unconscionable piece of legislation which was resulting in the deaths of citizens of Arizona.
Again, this was not only a government-made disaster, but it was also a man-made disaster on many levels including the family, community, and medical field levels.
I dare to hope that there were some hospitals which performed transplants as charity care during the time when there was no Medicaid coverage. But I'd love to actually see some proof of that.
