“Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of the U.S.-based Priests for Life, has pledged to pay for Joseph to be moved to a hospital in the U.S.”

No way is a hospital in the US going to accept this patient. Home care would cost in the hundred of thousands of dollars if this baby managed to live another 6 months. Is this Father Pavone going to pay for that care? Doubt it.
He wants to dump this on the already fragile health care system with a non American family taking away US taxpayer dollars.
You can put diagrams on how simple a trach procedure is. However, the equipment needed and the support services required for home care is immense.

Why do you say this?

Home care would cost in the hundred of thousands of dollars if this baby managed to live another 6 months.

Do you have a basis for this claim or are you just repeating the culture of death's talking points?

Again you are making a claim that has no basis in fact.

You can put diagrams on how simple a trach procedure is. However, the equipment needed and the support services required for home care is immense.

The culture of death loves to talk in non-specific, yet alarming, terms that cannot be substantiated.

This has been going on for decades:

This person suffering from hereditary defects
costs the people 60,000 Reichmarks during his lifetime.
People, that is your money. Read ‘New People’.

Have you never heard of Catholic hopsitals?

I believe hospitals can not refuse to treat the uninsured
