WHY are they giving a man who probably has less than a decade left a perfectly good heart?!
These are the same TheoCons that want to invoke God into everything, yet don't heed 'Gods will' or calling. That heart could have went to a 30 yr old with kids and a long life ahead of them. WHY WHY WHY?! Don't get me wrong, I wish EVERYONE could receive a new heart that needed one, but since it isn't possible why are we wasting a perfectly good one on someone that probably won't even live another 5-10 years?! Btw, isn't it a bit 'collectivist' to be granted a new heart and hypocritical on Cheney's part?

Yeah just give him a pain pill. :mental:

2. Death panels, anyone? Anyone?
We are better than this. I don't wany you guys deciding whether I deserve medical care or not.
I am not a Cheny fan, as a human being I firmly believe he failed miserably. He is a war monger, a war criminal. We are better than this.
No, you are not better than that.

15. Cheney, because of his power and money, was leakfrogged over hundreds of other
recipients, who were on the transplant list, but simply didn't have Cheney's status. I think that's the real reason people are angry..Plus he is a war criminal and should be held accountable for his crimes. Why should his miserable life be more important than others, who in my mind are very deserving of a heart transplant.
I don't really think age is a factor, but given consideration depending on the recipients general health In Cheney's case that didn't matter, he would have gotten the transplant regardless.

18. You need to PROVE that if you're going to assert it. Otherwise DU looks like
Free Republic right now over this issue.
DU makes up all its facts.

Deal with it, primitives. According to your logic, he would have just clawed a heart out of someone's chest, or shot them for it, if they didn't give him one this way.

You read my mind, BSS. That was Darth Cheney picture I was looking for, but couldn't find it!

Cheney's had five heart attacks, the first one in his 30's. For the last 20 months he's been living with an artificial pump in his chest while he's waited on the recipient list. He hasn't "leapfrogged" over anyone, dumbass.

Nads is furiously scribbling this one down for use on socialist Steve Dawes' website somewhere.

Liberals are the first to say Free health care to all!
They are also the first to deny health care to whomever they see fit.
welcome to Obamacare, where your party affiliation determines the quality of care you receive.

Darn, that site is on the tip of my tongue. Can you remind everyone what it is again? Something about "Elect Steve Dawes" or something like that...

Nutcase nadin is burning up "the goggle" on transplant policy.
As a mexican ambulance rider, she performed many heart transplants, using only a pair of vise grips and a butter knife.
Suffice it to say, I predict nadin knows transplants, in a meta sense.

If for no other reason, just to piss you wackjobs off! :rofl:

Note to every senior citizen in America, DEATH PANELS. If you want to live every senior citizen should vote for ABO and any republican. 0bama and good demokrat party members want you to die and to die cheap.
This is what they denied but now advocate.

I think former congressman grayson summed up their plan pretty quickly. DIE QUICKLY.

My grandmother is 72 and recently had surgery to remove thyroid cancer, and we recently learned that it has metastasized to the lungs, despite the fact that she has been seeing a doctor regarding her cancer on a regular basis for the past 8 years. She had a surgeon that discouraged her from surgery for two years, despite her oncologist encouraging surgery, and her surgeon actually had the gall to ask her "Well, how much longer do you want to live?" She had to change hospitals completely to find a surgeon who supported the surgical option, and they did a fantastic job. Unfortunately, the cancer had already spread by that time. She'll be having radiation therapy next month.
Just because a person is older, that doesn't mean that they should be denied medical care if they have a reasonable chance of an extended, high quality life.

Nationalised Healthcare ObamaCare in a nutshell.

He did what was required and the man waited nearly 2 years for his time to come. I don't see a problem here. As I recall too, don't they try to base matches also on the relative age of the person who passed who is donated the heart? IE I thought in most instances you would not want to put the heart of a 45 year old man in a 10 year old child or that of a 15 year old child into that of a 70 year old man. I thought I remember reading that there were issues with maturity of the heart that had to be considered. So shoudl we just toss all those over 50 hearts in the casket with the donor because we don't want to look like we are favoring the 60 or 70 year old who could use it and actually qualifies for a match and waited their turn to receive it?
-
Hopefully, VP Cheney will be in the 56% of heart transplant recipients who survive more than 10 years after getting their new heart, just to piss the Left off. :fuelfire: :yahoo:
-
If any Doctor asked me a question like " How much longer do I want to live" my response would be "Just long enough to choke the ever loving shit out of you for asking that you quack".

Funny the DUmmies bitch about leap frogging in medical cases, but they are silent or oppose curtailing illegal immigrants who leap frog people on immigration waiting lists! These people are the scum of the earth. F them and the rats they rode in on!
-
I'm not reading any DUmp crap about Mr. Cheney.
Here's wishing a speedy recovery, long life and prosperity to Dick Cheney, just to piss off the DUmbasses.
-
Dick Cheney does have the bleeding heart of a liberal.
He tore it from the liberal's chest with his bare hands and swallowed it whole to replace his own failing heart.
He's much happier today.

I had a somewhat similar experience with my own late mother about ten years ago. I noticed at the time what seemed to be a singular lack of any sense of urgency on the part of the oncologist and physician both, in dealing with an elderly patient.

It will only get worse under ObamaCare.

Then it will descend to "WHY are they giving a man that is not loyal to the demokrat party a perfectly good heart?"
-
Well, here's the short answer: Because it's not up to you DUmpmonkies, and the world doesn't revolve around you.
-
Where did the figure come from "less than a decade?"
He is only 71..
Bunch of idiots.

I don't know. Maybe because he's more valuable to the world and the nation than the entire DUmp combined?
Something to think about, DUmpmonkeys: I hear that li'l Trayvon had an organ donor card.
You don't suppose....

Just to piss you DUmmies off.....but you're safe DUmmies. Y'all have ruined your hearts with dope and other drugs. So when we go hunting for a heart for Bush and Rove, you don't have anything to worry about. Just stay away from sober, clean DUmmies....collateral damage and all, you know.

Just to piss you DUmmies off.
And that's really all it takes to make the whole thing worthwhile for me, even aside from the matter of prolonging the life of the smartest man to be 'One heartbeat away' during my whole middlin'-long life.

Everyone knows that Karl Rove harvested this heart himself, taken from the living body of an illegal immigrant that was being held captive in camp 12 :wink: I new these immigrant detention camps would start to pay off sooner or later. Long live Dick Cheney and Karl Rove...... :cheersmate:

He actually waited longer than average for a heart in his age category. He waited 25 months, the average is 19.

That's how he got around nutcase nadin's time limit for transplants.
He had the donor brought to the operating room while still alive.
