Rather than a hospital that can actually proforma liver transplants who is brought up to Boston's now -- Massachusetts department of correction at this and CEOs correctional officers over to the hospital to guard Jose particular nature isn't an -- to deliver. Courtesy of the United States that's fair. Is -- breaks down in Rhode Island is that the federal taxpayer is responsible for about half. On May be -- 60% of the million dollar trans. And then -- on the hook for another half night. -- not factored as a security charge already amassed department of correction has appealed Rhode Island roughly a 150 grant. This security. And having Jose critique other island inmate. At a Boston hospital. And now. Yeah that is not been acting medication the follow up the appointment there -- if 400 bucks on liver transplant recipients said. -- -- medication or not. So. Question I have for all -- 6172666868. We talked about this a little bit yesterday. And we had nurses nurses nurse call and say that they had taken themselves off of the organ donation list. Because of the discrepancies. That they have witnessed firsthand at Boston hospitals when it comes to organ transplants. -- -- Hainan island. Who knew it was about this Coke dealing low light. Who cracked a liver that liver for the loser when he has been on the list at three years now isn't that taxpayer. Saying it is you know there's some jealousy and send. And we. Isn't jealousy isn't can be. President I think what this guy because. This actually abysmal. We unsolved had been on the -- entries can't.

He's recovering right now in the expensive hotel around a spokesperson for the Rhode Island department of corrections said the exact cost of the procedure is unknown. Liver transplant operations can cost more than a million did hill will be likely paid for by Medicaid in you know. The taxpayer. So is all of deemed. Necessary. By the United States Supreme Court. Any argument is that denying medical care to prisoners who need it is considered cruel and unusual punishment. -- Unusual punishment. That I taxpayer. Has to sit backing contemplate that a Coke dealer just got delivered that could have saved his life back there six point 72666868. In reasonable. Think the United States Supreme Court meant. When it ruled in 1976. That states could not our prisoners from access to organ transplants and other support services. Without violating. The eight amendment. Appropriate. The appropriate. Serbs they get the -- 6172666868. That's 6172666860. Had no idea. If I take myself often do on an Indonesian -- easily it upon myself on I would have Marty got a because I'm sorry I don't want my organs at some tragedy would befall me. If licensed content to some sort of untimely death I don't want my. Being placed into the body of somebody who has contributed absolutely zero. To life hero. Jose did she -- entire life has been dedicated ten mayhem and Coke dealing. Into being -- like he's never had a job and now this. Coke dealing eat is kicking back in a Boston hospital round. But -- -- that could save the life of a taxpayer. Reich wing. I felt palaces there. So six point 72666868. IQ did they think -- eagle would have been entitled to the liver transplant. Had -- not. Made it very hard in hindsight he made it very appropriate decision again self locked up first series of violent crimes. Does pass. -- or not and locked up. First series of violent crimes you think he would have been talk on the list for a new liver Dow today. Now today. So Michael what do you think about this your own image on -- show. I -- have to -- to. Yes you know I personally I I find it very hard to believe that we would we do that but I just wanted to bring something up until the deal. Hard to believe that we would do what we would pay. While trying to be out there diet can impact right now flip the channels on -- experience on television. Other than good chance that it is TV and you know he's -- entrees being taken out completely in what we're about to say is. The gentleman about the talk about those guilty. But I think gas cell -- he was in -- like five months or something before they even checked out this time. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The overwhelming in policy on this guy according to the news web sites. And it's something like that legacy and I must say he shouldn't India but it could leaving it checked. -- -- get checked their key or not saying I totally into. Well but I am saying I object out of that the patient has been the main opposition has been.

You know she worked at yet registered nickles electorate by. Is a little lady were to -- up her whole life can't get a transplant -- some scumbag. Called stealing feet who who put got to somebody's face and hijacked their car well that guy is also a life. It it's crazy that maybe I just wanted to get it on it just say it's insane. -- -- Thanks Michael McConnell. Said that I love this point that was made by tax on the line mortgage -- -- it's X 8680. The law says they can't be denied. It doesn't state taxpayers are required to pay for it. I completely agree. Chico can go get a liver transplant if he had the milk. He had a million box why should the taxpayer be on the hook for that an extraordinary expenditure. When you knowing I know my mother has dimension she's had cancer quite contact. -- wanted to preparing to rule a full time care facility he would have to sign over his house. So he they would have to give up a house in order to get that's not a full time care. That Jose Chico is getting right now as a -- feeling -- let's had a job. As that there. And if that parent let them pay. By the non medical. All over when he agreement. Thank you very much the -- tax drew said hey -- and it just it was written. Usual meant -- -- quarter dragged bio horse tarred and feathered. Mean you get and 41. Million dollar operation in neat how -- the dollar that is spent at the mercy a life.
