The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) ended a Biden administration policy that required racial considerations be made to determine who was eligible to get a kidney transplant.
CMS published a final rule Monday governing the Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) Model, a mandatory, six-year program that ostensibly sought to “increase access to kidney transplants for patients with end-stage renal disease.” However, the Biden rule, which took effect July 1, 2025, also required participating hospitals to consider race, ethnicity, and “equity” in the decision-making process for allocating organs to patients.
organ donor is a total scam, sure a few people get a few more years. But it’s all about the money. Hospitals, drs, insurance companies, drug companies everybody is making bank off it except for the actual organ donor. if it’s such an altruistic thing to do then why arent the hospitals drs etc donating their time and talents? lets not forget the fact how many people have had their lives cut short or were still alive as their organs were harvested! plenty of testimonies and articles documenting this!
You are so correct 7:35. Everyone makes money from organ donations except the actual donor.
