[Question - other] If health care is a commodity, why is it illegal to sell organs?

You can only donate organs. But when you donate something isn't it a social good you're providing? I doubt the intent of people who donate kidneys ect. are doing so with the intent to profit prove corporations.

But when a donated organ is used by a private company to make a profit, aren't they turning this social good into a private good without the consent of the donors? I don't understand how this could be ethical.

If it were legal to sell organs I could see one justifying health care as a commodity in this regard, for organs would always be private goods and not social goods. But with selling organs being illegal it seems contradictory.

Colitis [question - other]

My brother is 17 and was diagnosed with colitis last November. It's been 11 months and the inflammation has only a little bit improved. He took a medication pill and now is on an injection. His diet is not up to par and from what I understand the prescribed diet is impossible; no sugar, no carbs, no raw veggies or other foods, etc. For those of you who are battling this, how is it going? Also, how are your finances like? My mom's work may shut down in Spring and she would be left without insurance unless she finds a new job with hopefully good coverage.

Cyst removal [Question-Insurance]

Hello, I am 21 and have a question. I do not have insurance and need a cyst removed on my head. The local clinic said they can do it for about 1k$. Is there like a short term insurance that I can get that would make it that I can get it removed for Lower cost? Or is there any way I can get it removed at a much lower cost? I really don’t want to spend that. It’s just so much.
