27yr old woman to be sent to the UK for a kidney transplant... following direct action by Greece's Health Minister; all this thanks to Mega "tsannel"

Should I smile, laugh, or cry??? Well, smile for the 27yr old who will, in all probability, live a better life!
Cry for the expediency of the TV channel capitalising upon someone else's dire need...

The storyline: Social Security cover for the transplant had been denied a 27yr old mother because the donor was distant relative (a good excuse for IKA to avoid the humongous cost of this operation... the woman might die, of course, but the money wouldn't). As is usual whenever anyone need something to be done (anyone amongst us, the riff-raff), the family appealed to local private television... and the Minister of Health etc, personally solved this matter. She also promised to amend the contentious regulation which helps throw out similar requests...

Not bad, eh?

1. In other words, unless anyone appeals on the air, they might as well curl up in a corner and wait to die.
2. The Ministry of Health etc etc is so convoluted that it's impossible to manage; so, damage control is the only name of the game left...
3. The situation is so out of control for the normal chain of command that it's best to let civil servants run the business as they see fit-- bar a few ad-hoc interventions here and there.

Not least, the transplant could not be performed in the country? How embarrassing!

But again... what do the television channel's self-serving sorrow-mongers making merry over this woman's medical straits deserve?
