I really like the central idea: what happens to your artificial organs if you can’t pay for them.

Nothing. At least from the medical staff. The medical staff get paid in a lump sum – any money you get by going into debt is going to come from insurance or a plain financial loan. And the loan is either going to be unsecured (= chase you in court, ultimately you go to jail for non-payment if it’s high enough) or secured (= against tangible goods that the loaner can sell, which will get reposessed).

Even if the medical group and the loan group were the same entity, it’d work the same – you’d get a secured loan – after all, if you died in a fire or went walkabout they’d lose all their money, so they’d need to have tangible assets with which to make good their loss.

Unfortunately you’re looking for a solution to a problem which doesn’t exist :)

I have not seen the film you are talking about but the name always reminds me of this movie from the eighties.
