catchescannonballs Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Says it costed $300,000 all paid for by medifreeload. Yet he still owns his own house worth at least $100,000. Should the government be able to seize his house to pay for what we tax payers paid for? Its not fair the tax payers to be left with this bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC-Bills Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 they forced him to drink? 836625[/snapback] Yes they did. They showed him a commercial and he couldn't help himself after that. He's victim in the truest sense of the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This man was unfotunately a pawn in their sick sick game 836645[/snapback] In fairness, I haven't really decided on this one, the liquor taxes that this fellow has paid over a lifetime might have paved the roads that the ambulances have used to save someone I love, maybe. Until this fellow needed a liver, he was an American hero. Giving his tax money above and beyond the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so wrapped up in my evil corporate bastards mode, that I completely neglected to look at the humanitarian aspect of this case. I feel less bitter now.

Johnny Coli Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I'm calling BS. They almost never give a new liver to someone who lost theirs via alcoholism. The list of otherwise-healthy recipients is far too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how do you know this person actually did not have the money? Are you a doctor? There can be multitude of legitimate reasons a non drunk can loose their liver. As said before, the chances of a drunk getting a new liver are minimal at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
