Sebelius Grants Health Waivers To Union Pals, Not A Dying Child

Kathleen Sebelius claims she couldn't grant a waiver to a dying 10 year-old girl but she has apparently been handing then out like candy to Obama's union cronies...

 

(IBD) Kathleen Sebelius' claim she can't waive a rule to save a 10-year-old's life is rich, given she was last seen doling out ObamaCare waivers like candy to union groups. Welcome to the world of politicized health care.

This week, lawmakers pressed Sebelius, who heads the Health and Human Services Department, to step in to help a Pennsylvania girl suffering cystic fibrosis in urgent need of a lung transplant.

Because she's only 10, Sarah Murnaghan can't access lungs from adult donors, only those from children, of which there are none currently available.

A rule set in place by the Organ Procurement & Transplantation Network, which is under contract by HHS to manage donated organs and waiting lists, set the cutoff for access to adult organs at age 12.

Pennsylvania's Sen. Pat Toomey and Rep. Patrick Meehan insist that Sebelius has "the ability and the authority to intervene to allow for Sarah and other children under the age of 12 to become eligible for adult organs."

  1. That is the same way all government jobs will go. There used to be a Civil Service where people tested and they were not political. That government is filling up with incompetants and political groups. This must be stopped.
