Waithing for a Kidney with New Health Care System not good for Older Patient

 The new health care system apply the method of ration for older patient and it matters not only for sharing kidneys, but also to a larger national audience looking to see whether transplantation will lead the way in treating older adults fairly. First at all, the process of using HTA(health care technology) to identify which patient receive a therapy should be transparent and objective. The data, from the HTA is not presented to the patient, and the rationing of therapies should be considered only in situations in which the costs of not doing so are unacceptably high. For instance, in kidney transplantation, the cost of maintaining the current system is a far greater number of deaths of patients with ESRD than if age rationing were implemented through.
