"How Dick Cheney Got His New Heart:"
[www.thedailybeast.com]

Quote

CHICAGO (Reuters) - At 71, former Vice President Dick Cheney was older than average for a heart transplant, but doctors said on Sunday that advances in care have made it possible for older patients to still be good transplant candidates.

And not only was he older than the typical patient, but he waited longer than average as well -- 20 months vs six months to a year.

That said, I don't like Dick Cheney and I don't apologize for it and I'm not going to post some bogus "wish him all the best", because honestly I don't. I'm indifferent as to his fate.

so, let's get this straight - Cheney and his ilk would have us believe that when Obamacare takes effect, one will have to wait even LONGER to get medical treatment such as this?

in that case, Cheney would have died? like from a DEATH PANEL?

hard to believe a guy that rich & powerful didn't pull some strings to get a new heart sooner. i know i would have!

Very hard to believe. I laugh at people who think that Cheney did the honorable thing and waited in line for 20 months until his turn came up. The filthy rich ALWAYS get better treatment than joe lunchbox and sally housecoat when it comes to issues such as this. That's what being filthy rich is all about.

My fantasy view of who Cheney is would have selected his donor from his secret archive of US surveillance information and had Halliburton operatives drag the donor kicking and screaming into the operating theater where they would have cut his heart out (a la Monty Python and the meaning of life) and spliced it into Dick while it was still beating.
