Officials regularly ignore the rankings, leapfrogging over hundreds or even thousands of people when they give out kidneys, livers, lungs and hearts.

These organs often go to recipients who are not as sick, have not been waiting nearly as long and, in some cases, are not on the list at all, a New York Times investigation found. Last year, officials skipped patients on the waiting lists for nearly 20 percent of transplants from deceased donors, six times as often as a few years earlier. It is a profound shift in the transplant system, whose promise of equality has become increasingly warped by expediency and favoritism. Other groups have benefited, too, data shows: Asian patients, men, college graduates and candidates at larger hospitals.

THIS is the kind of "baked in" institutional racism that CRT attempts to study and MAGA denies. THIS is the result of for profit healthcare. It's criminal. It's depraved indifference to human life.
