Prisoners Get Organ Transplants and YOU Are Paying For It!
By Republican Rebel
Well boys and girls, now I've heard it all! Picture this. Your mama needs a liver transplant. She has been on the waiting list for quite sometime and the doctors are saying they have done all they can do, but there are several people on the list ahead of your mama, and they just do not see any hope of getting a liver in time to save her. Your mama draws her last breath and you bury her. You are devastated and heart broken.
Then, you find out that one of the people that were on the list ahead of your mama was Wilfredo Rodriguez, inmate number 84B1666 who is serving 8 1/3 to 25 years in prison and is locked up at Wende Correctional Facility, a maximum-security prison in eastern Erie County, New York, for killing a man during an armed robbery. Your mama had to die, a woman that had never broken a law in her entire life because she was too far down on the list of those awaiting liver transplants! A scumbag who took someone's life away from them, and is serving a few years in prison because that's all the judge who sentenced him thought the man's life was worth that he killed, received the liver that could have saved your mama's life. Yes, doesn't it make you feel better knowing that the liver that would have saved your mama's life, instead went to Rodriguez so he can get out of prison in a few years and kill someone else?
A native of Queens, New York, born on Feb. 2, 1965, Wilfredo
Rodriguez has at least four felony convictions. That's right, I said FOUR!
Online corrections records for New York only list four offences, no matter how
many a criminal may have. So whether this man has four strikes or 40, we simply
do not know. But we do know that he has been convicted of murder, two
counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery.
In New York State alone, there are more than 2,200 people waiting for liver transplants. At Strong Memorial Hospital the number is 356. Many people awaiting a liver transplant had to do without because the government went to great lengths and expense to make sure the liver transplant went to Rodriguez. They obviously feel this man's life is worth more than not only the man he murdered, but also the law abiding citizens that are on that list. Actually the government has now assisted Rodriguez in killing others because they gave him the liver so the others will have to die. When Rodriguez gets out of prison and kills someone else, if it were up to me, those in the government system who made the decision to give him that liver should be put on trial as accessories to the crime. If it were in my power I would put every one of those bureaucrats who made that decision, on trial for murder for each and every person who was on the list that didn't receive a liver and died.
The United States Supreme Court ruled in 1976 that prisoners have a constitutional right to equal medical care, thus requiring governments to cover the costs. Experts warn that an aging prison population and a combination of chronic diseases in prison, like hepatitis, means that more and more inmates will need transplants to survive. Hepatitis is spread as a result of homosexual sex and the use of dirty needles in drug abuse which is wide spread in prisons throughout the USA. So you the taxpayers can just get yourselves ready to pay for a lot of transplants for prisoners!
Liver
transplants for convicts. It doesn't stop there either. While there were 500
Californians on the list waiting for a heart transplant, a convict in
California serving 14 years for robbery received a heart transplant. The
operation saved the 31-year-old inmate from dying of a viral heart condition,
said Russ Heimerich, spokesman for the California Department of Corrections.
Citing two court rulings in favor of inmate care, Heimerich said, "Our
hands are pretty much tied. It's not a question for this department to
decide." He pointed to a 1976 U.S. Supreme Court ruling declaring it
"cruel and unusual punishment" to withhold necessary medical care from
inmates. And he noted that in 1995 a federal court ordered prison officials to
give a kidney transplant to an inmate whose request had been denied.
Why does the court system say we have to go this far in treating the prisoners?
Is there a cost too high? Not according to the A.C.L.U who are there to make sure that the prisoners receive preferential treatment and that they are not passed up in order to save the life of a law abiding citizen. I mean heaven forbid that the American Civil Liberties Union, (or better yet Atheists Communists Liars Union) would ever defend a victim over the perpetrator! These scum sucking bottom feeders that give livers to prisoners over a law abiding citizen and the A.C.L.U that defends them, have made the prison system a joke, and they have sent a message out to criminals in America not to be afraid of murdering someone because you get to go stay in the Holiday Inn and should you get ill, you win a free trip to General Hospital where you will receive the utmost care which you otherwise could not have afforded if you had remained free and not broken any laws!
I also wonder if the family of the man Wilfredo Rodriguez murdered
will sleep better at night knowing that the dog who murdered their loved one,
received a new lease on life - at the taxpayer's expense - when he put their
loved on in the grave?
Rodriguez's transplant cost taxpayers an
estimated $400,000.00.
