Hospitals and patients sue to block new liver transplant rules
By Lenny Bernstein Lenny Bernstein Reporter covering health and medicine Email Bio Follow April 26 at 5:59 PM A group of patients waiting for liver transplants and hospitals have filed suit to block new rules they contend will reduce their access to the life-sustaining organs by transferring hundreds to medical centers in large cities, where the demand is higher.
The lawsuit is just the latest step in decades of wrangling over how to allocate scarce, valuable livers and other organs in a nation where there are far too few to meet the need. For people with end-stage liver disease, a transplant is the only option. For years, transplant hospitals generally had first shot at organs donated in their areas. The new policy, adopted last December, offers livers to the sickest patients as far as 500 nautical miles from the donor. It was approved after a lawsuit was filed in New York by a group of patients who said they were waiting longer for livers than people in other parts of the country who were less ill.
