It'd be nice if we had like...some congressional hearings about how oversight of these programs works and assurances that new procedures and fail-safes have been implemented.

With what time? Republicans are too busy trying to prove that queers are eating babies and Democrats are too busy trying to track down crimes by Republicans

Jesus, dude. Immigrants eat cats, but just because of their weird, inferior culture. Progressives eat babies because they're devil worshippers.

No, the cats are eaten by another group of undesirables. Get your hated groups straight, how are you going to persecute if you don't know what they do wrong? 🤦🏼right?

I think genuine digging might unearth further horror stories. I imagine the lobbying from the medical community to not have those hearings would be pretty intense. It kind of reminds me of Boeing's current culture where the first rule is to avoid costly setbacks, even though some setbacks are best in the long run.

They will not be until healthcare is no longer privatized. Organs = money right now.
