As long as he didn't get pushed to the front of the line because of his money, I wish him well! Some of these people get preferental treatment because they are celebrities! The only one I can think of now is Mickey Mantle and it didn't do him any good! After pickeling his organs in alcahol for all those years! He died soon after the transplant! The officials said everything was on the up and up, bull scat!

I heard he paid a woman to pick up a computer geek who they drugged and put him in a bathtub full of ice after removing his liver!

It is amazing how the richest uh I mean sickest always seem to be the perfect match and never have to wait.

The parents of 17-year-old Nataline Sarkisyan sued insurance giant Cigna Healthcare last year for declining to guarantee payment for a liver transplant at UCLA Medical Center. The family could not pay and she was not admitted to the transplant program. So she died.

If you think the world is not controlled by the rich then you are ignorant. Money talks in every circle of life. So, there's your incentive to make a boat load of money so when you need a body part, you can buy one.

My brother in law has been on the liver transplant list for 5 years. He developed pulmonary hypertension at one point and was taken off the list till they found the right medication to get that under control. He is now very sick. He and my sister cannot afford to have a private plane fly them to and from an area that may have a lower need for livers so he can be transplanted quicker. They cannot afford to establish homes in several areas so that they can list him in several different areas. So....does it look like the richest rather than the sickest...it sure does. I am sure Jobs was very sick when he got his liver....however, so is my brother in law. I am sure there was another very sick person in need of a liver in TN when Jobs was transplanted as well.

Stress is likely to make you more susceptible to illness today, so protect yourself with plenty of rest and vitamin C. Turn in early tonight and let your soul breathe deep.
