From the Chicago Tribune: As an illegal immigrant, Jorge Mariscal waited eight years for a kidney transplant he feared would never come.
His persistence paid off Thursday when he underwent the procedure at Loyola University Medical Center.
After years of uncertainties, Mariscal said he's excited about his future and grateful for the help he received. But he remains frustrated with a health care system that he worries might leave out an untold number of illegal immigrants in need of lifesaving treatments.
"Why can't we be treated the same?" he asked while sitting in his hospital room. "Health care should be a human right, not a privilege. At least give us the chance to fight for our lives with dignity." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-illegal-immigrant-kidney-transplant-20121209,0,3537821.story
Because you are an illegal immigrant, you asshole and you should not be in the United States.
Although Loyola agreed to cover the costs of the transplant, Mariscal will have to pay for the medicine. He applied for a grant through the Simon Bolivar Foundation, a medical nonprofit, that would help cover his first year of anti-rejection pills. But without health insurance, he expects he'll have to pay for most of his medication
Here's an idea, jerk, go back to your country and get your medical treatment and your pills there instead.
And do you think that you or I who live here legally in the United States would get a free kidney transplant?
To me, this guy seems like an arrogant jerk. Instead of being grateful for the surgery to the people who provided the sefvices, including the taxpayers who probably will ending paying for this jerk's medical care.
Since he already got his transplant, ICE needs to deport his ass immediately- he serves no purpose being in the United States.
Finally, there is some law abiding American who did not get a kidney because of this asshole. Where is the dignity in that?
