People with end stage renal (kidney) disease (OP since he needed a transplant) qualify for Medicare: "ESRD Medicare covers a range of services to treat kidney failure. In addition, you will also have coverage for all the usual services and items covered by Medicare. To be eligible for ESRD Medicare, you must be under 65 and diagnosed with ESRD by a doctor."
I had a heart transplant 8 years ago now, which cost zero. I had great insurance. But now the medications I take cost me 600$/month. That is with Medicare and gap insurance. But I am alive and had the joy of welcoming 5 grand kids to the family. If not for surgery, I would be long gone.
Obama care is the Affordable Care Act, NOT Medicare For All. Medicare For All is a proposed Single Payer Healthcare plan very similar to Canada's & would cover WAY more than Obamacare at a fraction of the price.
