No different from the current system of insurance. Not only do transplant patients have to stop drinking, they have to stop smoking and eat correctly.

By 'eat correctly' you mean, knife in left hand and fork in right hand, elbows off the table, etc.?

Either way, there's no healthcare for them (lefties), either, say so-called "doctors" (who are really commie freedom-haters).
