Thirty-three Americans die every single day waiting for an organ transplant. Most of this death is unnecessary. We are working to #EndTheOrganMonopoly.
In Opinion “Today, I will explain to my healthy transplanted heart why, in what may be a matter of days or weeks at best, she — well, we — will die,” writes Amy Silverstein, an author, in a guest essay. nyti.ms/3V0iodr
Let's be clear: @UNOSNews' monopoly over the organ transplant system has failed patients spectacularly. @HHSGov is taking critical action by introducing competition to this system for the first time. I'll keep fighting for reforms and accountability. washingtonpost.com/health/2023/03…
Wow! Outstanding news from Carole Johnson @HRSAgov. 40yrs ago we wrote the law mandating a fair & equitable national #organtransplant system. We may now finally get it. Thank you @JenEricksonDC @GregSegal613 @ArthurCaplan @algore wapo.st/3yY0jlO
If organ procurement organizations were operating at optimal levels, the waitlist for livers and lungs would be eliminated in two years. Instead, a lack of oversight has allowed the system to fail the people who depend on it the most. nyti.ms/2R4CQIP
