R.I. Prison Inmate Gets Liver Transplant At State, Federal Expense
It just disguts me how a criminal gets the royal health care treatment yet Grandma and Grandpa will get turned down on needed transplants and surgeries that are life threatening if they don’t receive one.Just wait until Obamacare gets going into high gear.Over in the UK they have government healthcare and they are treated like they are rats.They lied about the rationing ,that is starting already.Barracuda.
JOSE PACHECO
By John Hilland Tom MooneyJournal Staff Writers
CRANSTON, R.I. — An inmate at the Adult Correctional Institutions received a liver transplant at a Boston hospital last week, making him the first Rhode Island prisoner to undergo an organ transplant, a corrections spokeswoman said Monday.
The inmate is Jose Pacheco, 27, who is serving a 6 1/2-year sentence for robbery.
Wow. The unasked question is “why does a healthy looking 26 year old need a new liver?” Hepatitis C from drug use, most likely.
