I I am not my name and that's what. People. Are out. And at. And and aboriginal and I mean did I -- transplant and her people. Who firm -- their insurance won't cover it. Yet exactly and and professional but ever acts that are allowing people to qualify or not qualify -- these. And allowing people to a party they need your organs because they argue is their body. It Arctic -- and I don't know how to take care of their body and you know very likely not going to go on -- -- -- -- art and after they apparently are.

And are doing everything right to try to occurring at Oregon that they want and other people like that prisoner -- given our support and tangentially or. I had known how does this guy get to cut the list I don't understand -- part of -- Yeah I'm gonna get up and let someone out -- but honestly I've seen -- inside out and it just turned right around my. Age ten people have to do it at about. And make it more you know. Chat or whatever you wanna call it -- they shot. Thank you John for that -- Intel has a certain. Bird's eye view of this problem but it wouldn't she's about people. Whose insurance won't cover it who did doing everything right there on that list. You know lower life 27 year old Coke dealer gets in the war game ahead of someone and New Hampshire who talks about how his wife had a liver transplant five years ago. 250 grand to fifty -- netstat house that's their retirement. But this. The other from Rhode Island is -- now recovering in a Boston hospital. Because he got out one million dollar liver transplant. Well we does the prison draw the line we do we draw the line but -- I did they get to cut the line ahead of people that you and may not know. I'll tell you I next welcome. The property -- -- reported that the gender reassignment surgery. We have been eight tour right now. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- No cause elect whose real name is Robert cuts elect who's right now running around. A Massachusetts prison in a pair of taxpayer funded daisy dukes in a Brock. We. -- -- lipstick he's a white killer. I'm sure I'm sure there are. There's so liver recipient. Does not think you don't say that but that both outside. But I believe we are those who -- Are like the gender reassignment thing just the purpose of picking it back to the state and they go to all this trouble. Because we get the but it would describe it to find ways to. Give themselves expensive surgery I know I upkeep -- the -- -- guy. But I think a -- that there are so that I'll start. I know that they're shown that was it fantastic bill because -- -- I have no idea because tight to him in or organ donor to the use of the little sticker to put on your license. Now I just tell your registry. Line a 27 year old -- dealer who rubs people at gunpoint for a living. To get my liver and keep that -- -- I I don't frankly to give me the mean cold hearted. But I don't hear that guy dies in his. As well at that guard be heartbroken. A long -- -- and -- what what got a liver that's -- I would note is that guy's blood types so where I didn't try to do it I doubt that very much spent the shall. Thank you Bill Bennett has said the put I have been answered talked about the white liver transplant cost 250000. -- that everything that they had. Everything that they had and he said the cost of medication. After five years it's still 400 dollars a month to -- And so that's and we have to foot the bill for the 100 pounds a month the medication. In this look like Coke dealer from Rhode Island is kicking back in a Boston hospital this very moment the recipient of a one million dollar liver transplant. Think we arguing that this guy should they curled up in a ball and I. Know. But in key words of Joan and the medical professional called an -- earlier this might cut the line. He had -- lying. So that his hand this Coke -- at least 47 years old think in May and may not have done something. Extraordinarily abusive to his body in order to. Need a liver transplant in the first place. He's serving a six and a half he has sentence. For robbery. In -- gets a one million. Dollar liver transplant. This actually part positively upon. It how it is the Massachusetts taxpayers on the hook the whole day to Chico. This is not even a Massachusetts resident but he is right now recovering in a Boston hospital. To have a problem with this 6172666868. I mean. You know we haven't textures -- home same training my seven year old who was born with a heart defects to rob banks. Because that's -- we did everything will be paid for everything will be free. For his poor little boy. The heart defects. You're waving the feeling is going to be able to afford to take -- that kid is that the kid robs banks and goes to jail because then everything's free wanna -- -- pays to the taxpayer. You want. To grow a -- -- -- even though you're a male white killer problem. Okay for the hormone injection -- -- the pot. So when you're of these Supreme Court rulings. That say. This state must provide health care to inmates because it's truly unusual punishment if you don't. A minute. -- reasonable. Limit. A limit that I think that the taxpayer. Can impose. Upon how much medical treatment we give somebody. Karen and I think it's cruel and unusual punishment for the taxpayer to have to pay for a Coke dealers one million dollar Olympic transplant would you agree. Well again Ilya -- you have relatives know common sense -- ridiculous as crazy as. But I'll tell -- how we could -- this -- I just think about it. Why don't we yeah. -- It is at this -- your facts we have didn't we have it I thought my liver are accused of my body was going to why these people. I would -- stop being -- on organ donor. Not be heard Johnson called dinner earlier she works in America perfection she was so distressed. -- -- In adequacy of the program -- although Wayne which guys like the Coke dealing Jose but she broke up the line -- -- -- anymore unless this is her profession. Right right and you know black I have my my children I have a daughter took her life and and she's gonna look and honorable chart you know it's that good and it keeps them and you know by now -- they can only got into a matter of one of his children. It ended up and some political -- accident or something and they had -- went to some. -- like yeah that is. Right guys. Exactly -- -- yellow right side Udall is it if you are the ones that get. You know maybe people should stop being an organ donors main event he said the. It's got about. -- you're about -- went out and and Karen I think you and I able to agree with it because it does she talked about moral distress. To rest because you. If there's somebody who. You know a friend and that. Nine more. You know it's been on the list for alarm time yeah you think about that person would that person be the recipient. I had yeah I did not archetypal. On August 1 but Jose to -- the cold -- -- right there are dialing jailed did. I mean possible. Yeah guy gets to cut that guys. It's crazy it's it's that thing. What's -- -- LeBron what's wrong is right what good is bad like bad means good it is a hole. Wacky out there and it's not that this -- -- so -- everything -- You are rewarded. For doing the wrong thing in this society. To do the right thing you'll need a car that had. And it -- it in the -- -- story or not that -- -- -- and it. It is beating the people there and that the ones that don't want the right thing at -- out of -- Well as a as a Texan just had a delivers the losers program and that's exactly right. I mean and I should be the other way or don't worry the new week like this idea that comes from Tim in Boston. Which of the new prisoner early release program if you Tony award in. Give life to get us back isn't the right thing you wanna donated -- into some pretty. Well we'll give you -- look at you break and I got the system -- have. You don't need a kidney don't when he delivered to somebody while we have to get rid of that to donate a kidney. -- -- -- You can get out of jail early and that went on on the -- to pay for the guys medical bills for the rest of his life on the hook to -- Jose Chico the Coke -- that are built right. Meanwhile he's been a lot about getting at breakfast fund general acting as the TV going. It doesn't. That may unbelievable. Anyway thank myself. Thank you Veronica I mean like the idea let -- losers. If you're a loser like close it Chico the Coke dealer. Who's serving it's time for our armed robbery. Well hot you get the crop and everything and Mac. All stick it out he has in -- outside he has early so that there appropriate person you get a liberal what do you think how would the idea delivers the losers program on the stomach. Welcome back Boston -- sound XP we are AM fixated WR can I gotta love it one million dollar livers so losers what am I talking about. 47 year old Coke dealer. In convicted robber -- to Chico 47 years old. He's serving a six and a happy it's thanks in part right now we kick him back in a Boston hospital the new recipient of a one million -- liver transplant. This thing about that I think that you elect to guide that I'm not that apartments however. Should act cool feeling real life. Get better health care and -- and now we know that's on the list and has been waiting for that phone call for very long time. And we know that that is happening the prisoners get a first here's why because the hospitals know they get in million. Have a bit is going to be paid by the federal government. The other half is going to be paid by the state of Rhode Island. Into. The Massachusetts department of correction who is charged with making sure those -- the Chico doesn't walk out of this Boston hospital. While they children island for a 1101000. Dollars just to guard the prisoner Boston hospital. So the nasty OC. According to Rhode Island partied -- -- I'm. A hundred and angry and as of June 30. So is absolutely despicable. And I love this idea that hey I'm an attempt to prisoner early release program if you don't you know I didn't give a -- get us back program. How awful. It's disgusting especially when you consider Coke dealer with a damaged liver. What do you think Jeffrey are next on the Michelle McPhee show. I love it that that is that is such a catchy phrase. Livers are losers yeah ideas that more body part they donate you know we might get like a year up. Yeah you know you give the liberty you get like six -- yeah -- you get online you get another six months by an idea that. I line -- McKinney is I think he can still live with all those organs can't act. Out there but only they wouldn't understand that only release and Jeffrey because his the issue. There -- people who. Because their insurance won't cover it because it's still trying to do everything writing of the medical expert Colin earlier the medical worker on -- and she Arctic bought the list. She was so morally. I distressed at who she saw. These low lives like -- the Chico the Coke dealer and robber this guy gets to cut the list for an organ donation. Because he's in any I mean how does that work how did this guy get -- a Boston hospital. Yeah I didn't get -- a the other person you know. Question I I it's probably all about the Benjamin's -- like everything else is probably because just like YC's Boston. Still filled with section eight housing because -- Greenland to stupid enough. Tim rent to people. With section eight because they know beginning get a check from the federal government where legitimate civilian who wants or an apartment might lose your job Mike and have a little bump in the road. So the people who ever in the neighborhood but let everybody on section angle and they did it because it's made sure thing and I'm sure that's something to that argument for the hospitals they know -- gonna get it paid. When a guy is on the full vote of the taxpayer. Which can make them have to donated by Adidas signed after he died that he didn't want that liver. I don't think he should get it I think there should be a lot you're -- you're president you don't yet know whether. Now against -- -- they're not -- if you don't get the title ever endured a violation of the cruel. And what's cruel and unusual punishment why the cruel and unusual punishment. For the taxpayer to -- lose lose situation to be accused of torturing the guy if you let him die without the lever. I think if he can edit content you're not entitled to the same rights of the people are. You know I don't know maybe this guy is heavily in gay marriage and so that's how he got I have ever everybody else you know college because he believes. I don't know about that after you get way off topic -- thanks for the call me give me break what does that have to do and I think. But did the million dollars to the federal taxpayer I need. Dollars. To -- For a loan to 47 year old cloaked in a 400 bucks a month when a tiny cancer and -- -- at this and -- light savings. To kick in the quarter -- -- for her liver transplant. And -- hooked up 400 bucks a month for her medication this guy's gonna be taking care of free. So the text is can pick up his medical care for the rest of his life. Some tiny eleven trick play and pick ever got to pull off an -- every -- And -- Result openly -- I loved your idea but what you just said it worked out there I was voting for that you know weight throw liver transplant. I would I like to go broke brick throwing bookstores -- -- get on the listing get a -- let you know. -- -- -- -- -- some -- -- -- young heartless not heartless should remember is that may be excluded from transplant because they used to abuse -- bodies. Well it depends on whether or not -- that member of AA pulled the gun on somebody in Delk Pope. Many many many times about one chance pony like Jose the Chico the guy has done nothing but commit -- to correct -- Oh. Thank you. While take you very much drive for the Kolb had the good question and maybe some candidates from the that -- if you're listening. How did it why is it. That guy I noting get a call. But the prison got a call them Jose. When there are other people still awaiting that Indonesia. That's the bigger question. In the course of why is the man. When it comes to health treatment. For meets what's what's cruel and unusual. Mean it's I think to Philly -- caddie it's another thing to get him a brand new set of pristine pearly whites would you agree that welcome. Absolutely and I think the guys on those cavity ought to be. In -- got to graduate dentistry is -- and -- collapse and -- -- -- to lot of in his pocket. I don't know our bodies and -- at one of the country's best hospitals kick him back right now flipping through the TV channels watching soap operas. All -- says -- the press sometimes because that they they like the latch on the stories that sensationalized Eddie thanks regatta of the collateral damage like beating up on public safety people and attention that our unions destroyed the world just for example. But that's the. -- I don't played up. That note on this. Now I'm just saying in general but this -- the case where perhaps. Is that you know this is what reminds you how important it is to have people like -- getting -- out there because the average working person. Doesn't know what's going on they distraught ought to work trip we dated date pretty much filled up with surviving. But I work in. By the Serbs and I'd -- and you know I know that when you lucky paycheck at the end of the week and you see how much money -- Are taken up by the feds in and you realize that a million bucks just for the operational loan was spent on a Coke dealing collecting get a new liberty you just aren't right hand up and absolute astonishment. But that's why in -- that's why -- thank you need to say that Michelle because I mean this is the only way that the working people. That paid to this stop that and all bought it and unfortunately they've they're going to have to get involved because I worked inside for awhile. I saw all these people with treated and it's disgusted me and I see my wife works and a hospital setting. She's been a much better than maps help patients Abbott that we deal with without -- props and it's just absolutely mind boggling so it's great it's they had it. I don't always agree but I do what with there and that's what it thank you really have raised in this topic and I -- Blows away because they realize they can. Certainly can't be chased by our constitution but I legislative certainly can change things like -- like the two were at that live fire right spirit reasonable I don't think that you applied to either. -- and that's a bigger issue and like they have to be some sort of hard luck. I'm what is reasonable is it reasonable for the Massachusetts taxpayer to be giving hormone injections to convicted killers who wanna be win. Well we are bad and that's -- that's the bigger issue why. Is reasonable is it reasonable what did Robert console like the white killer. Be entitled to hormone injections in my agent -- removal if he was just working at the local stop and show up as grocery Bagger. No he wouldn't insurance wouldn't cover. So things won't cover laser hair removal and Ramon injections. From the shelves slash our consulate. The taxpayer bra wearing. Wife killer why should eat the taxpayer be on the hook -- this guy's job guys boob job is -- issue Mary early next welcome. I think they've taken my diamond and their previous. Color the previous they're scholar I did not I I do not have made an organ -- I didn't have a good about the abuses that seems like this in I would like to explain to you to. Tell me if I am I -- it's counted as we need someone to look from the professional. Perspective to explain how this works. Okay it's okay the reason the reason to let another reason that this guy got a liver transplants. Ahead of everybody else in this links to my -- is like from inside baseball is that he's young. And doing the actual surgery is going to be relatively simple. For the surgeon than if you got let's say someone who was 54 or 64. And the thing that this that they had the transplant -- want more than anything out good statistics they want an alive person. And that an is that I don't have to and is -- a recipient of the -- like a year from now and that that is considered a successful transplants. If you guys think here that they have to respect that doesn't matter. So there are about the numbers there are about the money and I'm glad that this. Situation came up because -- the confidence that the taxpayers to pay -- Says the had been insurance for -- need to know. The it would be the under the -- underbelly. Of the -- transplant program and -- finally got most of the people I don't think 99% of the people to get transplants. -- of people who have abused themselves life. And then how do they get rewarded big get rewarded for situations like Netflix this -- getting a million dollar taxpayer. Paid for transplant. Now Mary have you had any patience that the media didn't fit the criteria of a 27 year old like this Coke dealer thief. But. But there are a little older maybe they had alcoholism minera just being dismissed off the list. In favor of the Coke dealer from Rhode Island news right now recovering at a Boston hospital as it is that the criteria -- you -- Somebody who battled alcoholism -- whole lives that they just being completely. Eradicated from the organ donation list in favor of this -- -- Did -- that the company can't who knows the organization currently they're gonna have a fit -- criteria about who gets. -- plan to win. And I have seen situations where both those criteria are. You know higher. I ignored but personally I cannot say that I think something I think something like like this. They are heading to go on a -- though it must speak to you know there was -- disagreed might please captain any spots and Bob Cunningham. Donated. A kidney to his -- they just happened to be match it's almost a miracle it was a great story. And now lack. I I'll never forget him not Bob Cunningham Jesus -- my thinking telling McCormick. But cutting him a deal -- in the killing McCormick gave his wife a kidney and I'll never forget it he jokes -- are -- -- you can never say I'm not around. I'm always a crowd. And at that it was a brilliant and brave and and he did the right thing but to have killing McCormick whose work for a long time of the Boston cop can you imagine if he was told that his wife. Wasn't eligible because some low life Coke dealer from a Rhode Island -- just cut the line. I think it would be a pilot. They did it's it's it's definitely a -- It is sad thing is that people like you and I gonna take ourselves off the list which means that people who are deserving of organs get a Mets now because this home much. Corruption if you will in the system. I I agree with that another one of your previous cart this that the only way to make people look at how this that they weren't -- to stop. Being on the donor list. Stop it completely and haven't start all over again. And have a real criteria. Real honest criteria that they actually -- to. And that -- you know the defect that this guy from Hispanic you know we get political correctness so I do here in America. -- don't tell me that that's not part of resulting spill into the into the acting young -- -- -- surgical candidate. Disgusting Mary though thank you for the crime and I know you're right I and I know Joan called and right that's -- harris'. Protect themselves up organ donation list Edison went on -- registry motor vehicles hit by to take myself off. I mean isn't going to be the end result she's right what do you think 6172666868. Can imagine and hope they Chico gets his new liver. In low light it's at a prison in six years any any -- pointing dying. With like my producer -- -- Are discussing does that. I'm Michelle the -- we -- succeeded of New York now. Welcome back Boston this is an atomic AM succeeded heavy arc now. -- to see if I can take my name off the organ donor list on line at the -- in my vehicles I cannot. To tell you are you going to and it's a sad state of affairs and I hate to look my police captain Kelly McCormick in the science edge pick myself up the list. An issue because -- my good friend. Rob -- and died a few years ago they wouldn't take a guy it's because he was gay. So silly like you -- to donate his organs and they wouldn't take them. Armed armed down rules why are we talking about this because there are people out there. While waiting for a -- well they got -- line by a 27 year old co dealer from Rhode Island doing right now. Right now at a Boston hospital. Recovering from his one million dollar liver transplant for a loser that took place right here. Don't drive a why because a Supreme Court Rhode -- ruled and it's similar across the country. That it would be cruel and unusual punishment not to give this guy health care. -- we don't given health care. I don't light -- Lifesaving heart broke it tree and play. Which he gets a liver that some of the guy who didn't so poke and commit crimes -- a life. Is not going to be entitled to how would they -- -- applicable Nancy I next time and John McPhee show. -- -- -- -- -- -- The I'm an art and the wanna do know about -- and that -- and usually occur when it. Tissue match both. You know you mentioned about how to get up -- not like it it is at the line. I'm I don't agree with this program at all but -- -- have -- -- -- picture issue match that that might be why you want to get that labor and the -- Alchemy and the and you had to be some medical terminology aren't a lot with this argument that's. -- -- deal right now on the hook. You know beat the -- said. Would try to figure around at the inmate is qualified ads SI prior to his incarcerate you know was out. -- his control -- even funny it was. It -- well popular and handle it. Even though let me and get out abuses without -- leading at any time you know health care and we meet people. Rule you don't need help at either insurance. Of the hot and it like medication maintain -- Like -- you know outrageous expense. I think we've done -- outline in prison it's ridiculous deal. Exchange operates and and trans play at an exercise room within it that way over the top and really it's ridiculous. It's. Saying that the guy should sit back and you know suffering -- given aspirin but -- literature -- Are you comfortable and supportive care and she you know that some some type of medication. Medical. Beat by a liver transplant now but why is it. Nancy being called and today it's at that they used to be like -- -- her part of the program. Somebody just texted us and logging on the 27 years and take up the list this week I mean when -- medical profession and you see inequity. It in don't have a moral distress which was -- term I really like as. Helped Kelly McCormick's why. How close it Chico that you brought to my mother point. -- it off and not in a highlight for many years ago and I'm considering that statement about not elected route which is unfortunate because. Again you like to think that somebody you know they could help somebody -- if you died. Accidentally or whatever you -- usable -- It would make me about it -- -- I think about it and it it will it will. You know people really need treatment and really need -- -- But with that disease about and and finally there on the street how this game until that doing the right thing and accumulated -- -- -- -- out and you never. Our especially if it never sell -- to them right. Right yeah they definitely two different you know I'd have my only issue with it would the other part and Allah -- -- you -- you I'm well criminals now I think you know what they they should vitriol that. And yell be reasonable. Accommodation I don't I. The job in -- one night -- liver transplant on gas there -- no -- there -- This is another reason I love nurses so much Nancy summoning him my friends and I gravity to us and thank you because they commonsensical. -- -- -- the real world. People live in the real world. Have this team worldview as many of us who are participating in the show trying on -- -- -- -- -- -- Text before about it on the cross a quarter million dollars relive it.
