[Avodah] Is there any issur here al pi halacha?

[Rich, Joel]

How wonderful it would be if the rich person would offer to pay for the poor man's transplant, and it would certainly be a great mitzvah of tzedaka (and, I suppose, pikuach nefesh).

But I don't think the rich person is obligated to do this. He certainly doesn't have to do it for every single patient who is poorer than him.

==========================================
Someone asked earlier about the priority categories in horiyot, my answer is lmaaseh they are almost universally ignored and I haven't found a clear halachic reason why (e.g. r'sza says it would be very difficult today).  Now add your issue-I have a talmid chacham/kohain/man and a wealthy/am haaretz/woman/convert and only one available kidney.  Must the community buy it for the former, can the latter outbid?
