Description

What exactly are Organ Procurement Organizations? And how are so many of them failing and stopping Americans from getting the organs they need?  Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL-8) and Jennifer Erickson join the podcast to talk about reforming America's system for organ donation. When 90% of Americans approve of organ donation, why do we still have critical shortages of so many organs? And what can we do to change things?  Listen to find out!
