New Yorkers who want to donate a kidney or part of a liver to other New Yorkers will no longer have to lose an arm and a leg in the process. Governor Kathy Hochul recently signed a bill that reimburses donors who give an organ to a friend, loved one, or stranger—a life-saving deed that often costs thousands of dollars in lost wages, travel costs, and out-of-pocket expenses. By eliminating financial barriers to organ donation, the Living Donor Support Act should inspire more donors and reduce often-deadly wait times for organ transplants.
