What about a tax credit large enough to offset related expenses and recovery time? If so, then you might be interested in the idea from the Coalition to Modify NOTA.
Modify NOTA is an advocacy organization that highlights the need for kidney donations to strangers. The: End Kidney Deaths Act is the proposed idea that would establish a 10-year experimental trial. This study would give refundable $50,000 tax credit ($10,000 each year) over the course of five years to the living donors who donate a kidney to a stranger. The donated kidneys would be given to the patients who have been on the transplant waitlist for the longest.
The Modify NOTA group has been pushing the act onto Congress with the conviction that it could in the end save taxpayers billions of dollars in health care costs. Are you with them?
