On the recordApril 7, 1994
Transplants are covered when they are appropriate. When it's an appropriate medical procedure and the doctor decides it's appropriate, it gets recommended, the transplant will be covered. And there are no lifetime limits on our policies, keep in mind, unlike most policies now. Three out of four policies now have lifetime limits. So that would not be a problem. I have to tell you, I don't know about the donor's expenses. I'll have to check on that. I can't answer that. But when it is an appropriate medical recommendation, it would be covered. It's a normal thing that would clearly be warranted by the treatment and by the doctor's treatment of the patient. And I think it should be. And again, there are no lifetime limits on the policy, so that won't be a problem. Mr. Anschutz. Thank you, Topeka. We go by satellite now to Omaha, Nebraska. Ms. Carroll. Thanks Wendall. This gentleman is a veteran, and he's very healthy right now, but he's also concerned about what's happening at the local VA hospitals and other hospitals just like it. Veterans Health Care
