A 10% chance of survival is a medical reason and thus legitimate for deciding yea or nay. Assuming the girl would have been fine with a transplant, which is probably never a 100% under the best scenario, and she was at the top of the wait list, then she should have gotten it. If we make hospitals eat their costs for treating illegals and the totally uninsured, I don't think it's asking too much for them to go ahead with the operation on this girl and see if the insur. will pay up later.
