Government healthcare death panels win. Charlie Gard loses.

Why do european healthcare officials get to decide if a private treatment is sought in another nation?

Because they are not free.

That is the same direction we are headed.

I don't get that either

Slippery slope of people actually getting to make choices. Can't risk that!!!

People really don't understand how you have to have death panels with single payer systems.

This alone should be enough for anyone with a functioning brain to be against single payer but......

EDIT: Alex Jones has been nailing it lately talking about how single payer forces citizens to be slaves and this is exactly why. He rightly says you can't have government controlled healthcare without being a slave. It is an inherent requirement.

IIRC, the parents refused to give their baby an MRI for months. An American doctor examined the kid, who cant hear, can't see, and has to be on life support. Bad situation all around but i would've let them go

For some background on why this development has suddenly happened. Up until recently, the parents have refused any attempts at an MRI scan since March. Last saturday they had an emergency orders meeting to finally do an MRI.

The American doctor now visited the UK and Charlie (at the request of the courts) and, after seeing this MRI as well as the muscle wastage, has told the parents that in his view it's too late to use his treatments (which he only estimated at a 10% chance of being successful even prior to this). This is exactly what Charlie's doctors have been saying for months.

What happens next? Well the parents thanked GOSH and want to set up a charity, however they have also talked as if they want to file a malpractice suit against GOSH, implying that it's the fault of the hospital for not allowing him to be treated sooner

All they've done is managed to drag the name of a world class childrens hospital through the mud and inundate them with death threats. I hope this is the end of it

The lifetime medical costs caps in the Republican healthcare plans... how is that not a death panel?

You are not free under single payer.

We are at a cross roads.

Choose to be a subject of the state or choose to be free.

The latter comes with responsibility. The former comes with costs.

Do you want responsibility and freedom or do you want subjugation?

I was thinking earlier, if this is the BS we end up with, but some fricking exempt politicians child ends up on life support for ten plus years while this kind of shite is the fate for the rest of the country's family's...shite's on.
