I haven't seen the movie, but that seems reasonable enough. If the doctors are really there to help patients, but have some difficulties due to patients' insurance and related monetary matters, then they could certainly use this as an "excuse" to perform the surgery. Hearts are extremely difficult to come by, and it is a shame that many have to give this rare chance up simply because they do not have enough money. I am coming from a viewpoint in which life is more important than money, by the way.
