Organ Transplants, Trafficking, and Dying

Has kidney trafficking come to the U.S.?
Some doctors say the shortage of donor kidneys for transplant pushes desperate patients to break the law.

A criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court of New Jersey alleges that Levy Izhak Rosenbaum asked an undercover FBI agent for $160,000 to line up an unrelated living kidney donor from Israel.

I wonder if the Obama Healthcare Plan for America pays these costs?  Will that be part of the reform?

Or, will the reform promote organ donations and harvesting?

In China it is common to harvest organs from prison inmates. As a matter of fact Chinese government has in years past taken people off the streets accused and convicted them of crime they never committed and sentenced them to death for the soul purpose of harvesting there organs. They even created a nifty motor-home which is set up with a operating room that travels to any prison to harvest organs.
Rich can pay.. A Communist government can deliver.

I imagine there is a scheme like that in the HR 3200 too.
