Liberals are always talking about the WHO study that ranked France as having the #1 best health care in the world, and the U.S. as being #37. Then why did this French guy some to the U.S. for health care?

US regs may be different which would explain why the same airline was able to bring him from France but can’t take him back.

500 lbs is a very big boy.

If there are 2 empty seats he could “spill” over into, I could see him being flown to where he needs to go.

But, on a full aircraft - his rights to travel should not impinge upon the rights of his fellow travellers from being able to accommodate his girth invading their very limited seat space.

Couldn’t they finish their route in a horse trailer?

I think it was for specialized health care. People in France do not have 500 pound revolting type of people (this guy is a rarity). America deals with these types daily in fact just reelected one in New Jersey. That is why he came to America. Nothing about Health Care but a tuba lard type of repulsive guy who could not get help in France because they don't specialize in that type of medical problem like we do a lot.

International medical transport is available. Not cheap, though.

You beat me to it, but this is exactly the first thing that popped into my mind when I read that headline. How many Americans travel to France for healthcare?

So British Airways is the only option to leave the US?

Hey, try one of those African of ex-USSR airlines, they won’t care.
