    I’m sure they do this because it’s illegal to profit from the sale of organs. You wouldn’t want your SO to sign you up as an organ donor than off you to collect on that sweet organ cash.

    As far as charge you for the ambulance ride… capitalism strikes again. Wouldn’t be an issue if we had single payer.

      Apparently not for the people who are charging transplant recipients 1.3 million for a donated heart :/

      Is that really any different from life insurance, except with more potential to help poor people?
