Rosa Amelia Olivas questions how a health system that does not limit undocumented immigrants from donating their organs can prevent them from receiving transplants.

Hugo Huerta's kidneys work at only 20% and he needs dialysis immediately. But that’s made challenging because he’s undocumented.

Donating a kidney is a relatively easy process, especially when compared to the grueling time spent waiting in the national recipient pool with thousands of other hopeful beneficiaries.

He was a good candidate for a transplant - but his transplant center estimated a 10-year wait time. He was depressed and had lost hope.

The 11.3 million undocumented immigrants in the United States face more health care disparities than any other group in the country.

Generalmente los inmigrantes indocumentados no califican para los programas federales como Medicare y su cobertura estatal es esporádica, a menudo sus trabajos no ofrecen beneficios, y años sin atención médica primaria muchas veces los lleva a que padezcan enfermedades crónicas.
