16 year old gets double lung transplant in Detroit due to irreversible damage from vaping. So who should be on the hook for his million dollar procedure? Obamacare, private insurance, medicare for all or pick up the tab yourself you idiot...
Double Lung Transplant
- Thread starter jamesvanderwulf
- Start date
Perhaps the company who produced the vaping product?
Who is on the hook when alcoholics have liver transplants?
What?! Do you post the same question about people who cause auto accidents? Fat people for heart disease? Alcoholics for liver disease?
They just figured out last week that it may be Vitamin E in the fluid that is causing the severe damage. Some 16 year old is supposed to know that a single vape could lead to a double lung transplant?
Maybe schools should teach kids that your lungs are critical to life in biology. Destroy them at your own peril...
They could split the cost with whoever sold or gave the 16yo the vaping products - whether it was a store selling them to him, or an older buddy buying them for him.
I would argue the poor soul who donated the two lungs probably is on the hook the most.
No, we aren’t interested in science education anymore. Read this board. Look at our Department of Education. The only goal in life is to maximize profits at any cost, regardless of long term consequences to individuals, the environment, etc.
Maybe a tax on Vaping would have saved the kid. The Dems said that will save environment.
it’s science.
Do you reckon the kid would have vaped less or more if vaping costs more?
i honestly don’t think it would have mattered on bit. Kids will pay almost anything for alcohol and tobacco.
do you thing the ozone hole would have improved just as much if they taxed CFCs in 1987 instead of banning them?
Walk the walk. Ban the shit or shut up.
it isn’t science, it’s money. At least be honest.
it’s so woke to want a tax. Very woke.
Honestly, you don't think price impacts consumption? There's no point going further, we are operating on a different understanding of very basic economic theory.
I have no idea what you're talking about in terms of ozone holes, improvements, or CFCS in 1987.
So many incidents of this now...it may reduce use of the products but sadly, 16 year old boys think they're invincible.
I’m confused.
Why wouldn’t it be paid by his parents’ insurance company?
Who else would pay for it??

Organ donors are life savers. Make sure you have advanced directives filed with your preferences.
Dude, I laughed so hard at this....I'll see you in hell.
I wish we had an opt out clause. Presume that everyone will donate their organs unless they request specifically not to.
I believe that’s how it works in some countries. It would be a wise idea, but the lunatics would claim it was government death panels harvesting body parts.
