While oversight is critical, Section 2(d)(1) authorizes HHS to collect registration fees from transplant centers for each candidate listed—essentially taxing sick patients for bureaucratic overhead. The bill’s “transparency” provisions (Section 2(d)(4)) require posting fee data quarterly but lack enforcement teeth. Meanwhile, GAO’s mandated review (Section 2(d)(5)) won’t conclude until 2027, allowing X years of unchecked fee collection. This mirrors past failures where 24-hour IT upgrades (Section 2(b)(2)(C)) diverted funds from actual organ placement. Taxpayers deserve accountability, not another slush fund disguised as “network operations.” If Congress wants trust, start by auditing the 2023 HRSA report showing XX% of donor organs wasted due to logistical failures—not squeezing hospitals with new pay-to-play levies.
