[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Feds ALREADY HAVE A ROLE. That's the REALITY, not my desire, wish or creation. Your whole fragile argument is built on fantasy, not reality. When the Feds do not have a role, when there is no HHS, come back and talk to me.

It's not about who needs a lung and who doesn't, it's about children being discriminated against due to their age when indeed, adult lungs would be a fit in some cases. [/quote]

Thank you for posting this.  I think people sometimes forget that these are medical professionals that in most cases don't even work for the federal government.   However the "network" is housed under HHS.   I think I also heard that they are meeting Monday to discuss the current lung policy (heard on NPR so have no backup).  We'll see what transpires out of that.[/quote]
