TRANSPLANT; LOYOLA COVERS COSTS:
As an
illegal immigrant, Jorge Mariscal waited eight years for a kidney
transplant he feared would never come. His persistence paid off
Thursday when he underwent the procedure at Loyola University
Medical Center. After years of uncertainties, Mariscal said he’s
excited about his future and grateful for the help he received. But
he remains frustrated with a health care system that he worries
might leave out an untold number of illegal immigrants in need of
lifesaving treatments. “Why can’t we be treated the same?” he asked
while sitting in his hospital room. “Health care should be a human
right, not a privilege. At least give us the chance to fight for
our lives with dignity.” Mariscal’s treatment is far from over. The
pills he’ll need to make sure his body doesn’t reject the new organ
can cost upward of $10,000 a year for the rest of his
life.
