If my hospital bill for a single night stay is 50k, they can pay me 50k for my organ. I’m certain hospitals can pay far more than that, with the amount of insurance fraud they commit.
Why shouldn't the estate of the deceased get rewarded for the deceased's generosity?
(Of course, I fully expect this added cost to just get passed on to the recipient, which isn't a great outcome.)
It seems to me that the medical profession is financially imbalanced with respect to the rest of society. In the US, they are propped up by mandatory health insurance requirements and are all but guaranteed income, whether it’s from private insurance companies, taxpayer dollars (a la Medicaid/Medicare), or some poor unfortunate soul’s lifelong medical debt payments.
As long as people are being born, medical problems will be a dime a dozen, and wealth earned by medical practitioners will scale with the size of the population.
