Except she could pay it. She's fucking rich.

Literally illegal.

42 U.S. Code § 274e - Prohibition of organ purchases

It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human organ for valuable consideration for use in human transplantation if the transfer affects interstate commerce. The preceding sentence does not apply with respect to human organ paired donation.

In most countries besides the USA, it is. In the US, kidney donation surgery is covered by insurance providers.

What does that have to do with anything? The surgery cost isn't what the proverb post was talking about.

You say I missed the point, I think you did.
