He may have been on that list thousands of years ago when he began having heart issues. Too bad thousands of young people don't get to live thousands of years waiting like cains offspring. What a douch.
Such a nice old cold-blooded killer-man. Who is saying that he waged war that resulted in 100,000 civilian deaths? Why he is a patriot, he must have served his country in his time. Zero humanity, I mean zero. And the epitome of craven neo-con brutaliy (the current plague of the USA).
So many people in need of healthcare in this Country and can't afford it. Many of them lose their lives due to sub-standard treatment. And this guy gets a new heart like that.
Do you know how long he waited for a heart? Perhaps, he waited 5 or 10 years or longer. And why should a heart transplant be free? As with everything else, it cost money. Some have money and others don't. Who do we blame for that?
No doubt covered by the taxpayers as a living vp relic. But at 71 with a history of poor heart health? I'll bet there are much younger people on the list who have families to raise and jobs to do. And we are arguing against Obamacare?
Why was tax dollars used to save the life of this elderly ex Vice President when he is partly responsible for the death of so many young men, women and children?
I don't think they consider if you are popular or not... probably a good thing for a lot of losers commenting on this story in case they ever need an organ transplant.
I have tax payer and religious issues about Cheney and the pump and then heart. The GOP/Cheney don't want to pay for contraception but they are a ok with my tax dollars paying for Cheney's heart.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Under the Federal Employees Health Benefit System, which Darth is eligible for as a federal retiree, the feds (tax dollars) pay a large percentage of his health care premiums. Next time do a little research first.

That is how the USA operates.
Do a Web search to learn how many illegal alien invaders receive FREE organ transplants while USA citizens die at times due to a lack of funds.
Also look for how many illegals are receiving FREE life-long kidney dialysis that the taxpayer pays for.
Seek and you will find the sordid tales.
That aside, yes, I do believe that younger heart patients should be placed on the waiting lists ahead of older ones.
