Let poor kids die, they’re expendable, right?

Let’s not even go there bud.

I dont know what you mean that the bloodwork is not good, but monitor your daughter carefully. ERs have turned into places where if you are not bleeding, you get sent home

Do not jump to conclusions.

This is one side of the story.

Din-continuance of care is a common need, especially when it was started when the outcome was probably never in doubt.

Also, what is this groups legal standing? Are they retained by the parent, or are they some self-appointed group acting supposedly for the child?

You’re absolutely right. This thread is not the place to debate the costs of health care. A young life hangs in the balance this afternoon. God help this little child!

I was just about to post this myself. A Facebook friend emailed the hospital and in their response they said Gabriel was in critical condition. They also claim that allegations regarding his care were inaccurate. Hopefully we will learn more about the situation soon.

That is the system we will ultimately have to get back to.

Universal health care meant something different for the better part of 1500 years, until the Socialist the world over came to power and through regulations that in creased cost and taxes the decreased donations pushed the church out and co-opted the concept into “State provided health care”.

The inefficient and ineffective state providing health care is equally as abhorrent and unacceptable as is tossing the less fortunate to the wolves to die. Indeed state run health care appears to toss a broad range of mankind to the wolves, ultimately tossing us all out as it consumes the last of our treasury..

Obvious there would need to be another way, another option...

Our compassion and faith gives us no choice on one and our economy gives us no choice on the other.

No, they put a ventilator tube down her throat. It's out now. She does have a PICC line, though.

While I understand where you’re coming from, there are a lot of things we stop funding before we stop funding medical care for handicapped babies. Unfortunately we don’t know the whole story here.

I just called, the woman was polite, and asked for my E-mail. She said she will send a public statement to my E-mail.

I just cannot believe that this is what we have come to in the United States of America. Disgrace.

I want to vomit. I also would like to beat the ever living s-it out of every person on this panel.

Begging for it...they are just begging for it.
