This is what happens when the government has the power of life and death over “citizens.” (Slaves, not citizens.)

NHS has the power of life and death. There is no appeal from the government. This is the goal and dream of socialists everywhere: the government deciding who lives and who dies. (Abortion, euthanasia.)

Complete control of thoughts and opinions. Complete control over who works where, and who earns what. Government sees all money transactions, and takes its cut. This is what we are heading for if crazy bernie is elected.

When the government gives everyone a job, the government, obviously, has to have complete control over jobs! It’s simple logic. (Present participle expletive of popular Anglo-Saxon verb deleted.) (Imprecation invoking Deity, calling for eternal damnation of socialists deleted.)

Horrible, when the government has your life in their hands.

............... especially when the BANKRUPT government-run health care system is attempting to impose a regime of fatal neglect onto their child.

There, fixed it.

Doctors — fecking GOVERNMENT doctors — have no diagnosis, yet they’ve determined this child has a “terminal disease” and must be forced to die at their hand. What is actually the case is Alfie has been given the thumbs-down by the death panel.

“Great” Britain??? *SPIT*

Every conservative should shove this saga squarely in the face of those filthy socialists who “think” single payer is such a great stride forward.

I imagine if this were William and Kate’s baby, he wouldn’t be starving to death.

What a nightmare for the family.

I just read this on a facebook post: "The reason the Government has placed security in the hospital to prevent the parents from taking the child to another country for treatment that could save his life is a very simple one. The reason they are just now starting the process to starve this innocent child to death is due to the fact that way the laws are stated, if this child goes to another that saves his life, he is still a citizen of the U.K. The child will return to the U.K. and will most likely be in need of medical assistance for the rest of his life. Assistance the Government will be forced to pay for. Day nurses, medications, special equipment, etc. So why would they want this child to die at this point in time? Because his second birthday is in mid May. And according to their laws, if he lives to see his second birthday, the Government has no choice except to pay for all his long term medical needs without exception. If they can starve this child now and let him die, they are off the hook for all his medical needs."
