OBAMA HEALTH CARE BY THE NUMBERS
AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS OF HISTORY

A young mother's premature baby died in her arms after doctors refused to help because it was born just before 22-week cut-off point for treatment.
Sarah Capewell, 23, gave birth to her son Jayden when she was 21 weeks and five days into her pregnancy.
Although doctors refused to place the baby in intensive care, Jayden lived for two hours before he passed away at James Paget Hospital in Gorleston, Norfolk, last October.

Rest in heaven.
If they tried this in the USA the Dr would get shot, another reason th UK dose not want you to own Guns.
Obama would approve.
yep, whoever wrote those rules and enforced them, was a death panel for baby Jayden. RIP baby.
And folks in the US think that government care is supposed to be sooooo compassioante.
Here in the US these children end up living because they get the very best NICU care in the world.
Now tell us again how the system is broken? Yeah thought so Obama
That is just horrible. The pain that mother is going through is beyond most people’s comprehension. It makes me feel ill just thinking about it.
Why didn’t the Dad go down to his car, get a gun and put it to the docter’s head demanding treatment for the baby?
Oh wait, this is England....no guns.....
Which reminds me, I would think that no US beaurcrat would want to be seated on a US “death panel”....
Think about it, you’re a senior citizen that has months to live without treatment.....the board turns him down.....next time he shows up he’s strapped with explosives.....
LOL, nothing to lose and maybe will help the next guy (once they re-seat a new board).......
We could be creating a new group of senior terrorists.....
Amillia is counted as a 21w6d baby because she was IVF and the doctors counted the pregnancy from the day of embryo transfer. In a natural pregnancy, she would have been counted as 23w6d, from the the date of the last menstrual period. Her case has given false hope to pro-lifers and the parents of impossibly premature infants. At some point, it is hopeless, and attempts at treatment are only cruelty.
Maybe the attempts will advance our ability to save preemies but the babies will suffer and die in the meanwhile. Jayden might have had a 1 in 100000 chance. Maybe his parents should have been the ones to decide if it was worth it.
Thou dareth offend the laws of the high and mighty state to spare an insignicant sponge draining the peoples healthcare resources?
May God bring peace to Jayden and his family.

This is supported by the man in the office. The doctor could receive a high level givernment appointment.
If you ever hear a leftist say that countries with socialist healthcare have a lower infant mortality rate, explain this to them:
Premature babies are not counted as “alive”, and therefore, when they die, they are not counted as an infant death.
In America, every live birth goes into the statistics.
She was told this is, in fact, normal for premature babies who get the same kind of care as hers did.
OTOH, had this been a hard core homosexual AIDS case contracted as most such diseases are, I'm sure no expense would have been spared in getting them patched up so they could return to the same lifestyle from which they contracted the disease in the first place.
And gestational age is an EXACT science?? TWO DAYS!! How pathetic! Prayers for mom & dad and family.
No, they are not monsters. They cant save them, even the surfactant enhancers dont work at that age. The technology is not there. The babies die because there is nothing else that can be done. I rather have the baby dead in my arms at that age, than as some medical resident’s lab-rat.
Also people do not survive severe encompassing burns. They are not treated, just kept comfortable.
Some deaths cannot be prevented. It is sad but it is true.
Them's the breaks when bureaucrats make the rules.
