What worried me was when I read he was "not eligible" to be a recipient of a human heart; I hope this is not just because he had a bad (or no) insurance.
Of course it's also probably not unrelated that he paralyzed someone for life in a stabbing attack many years ago, but I believe the official story at least was that this didn't enter into the calculus.
Underlying medical conditions, refusal to follow medical orders, an unhealthy lifestyle (smoking, alcoholism, drug abuse) are all reasons to pass you over for someone more likely to survive with a transplant.
Medical resources aren't infinite, even when money isn't an issue.
