I don’t misrepresent the case.

You represent your agenda just fine; however, it has NOTHING to do with the case.

Fact: baby Joseph is Canadian and as such and with the decisions of the Ontario board he would never be covered in the US.

A fact made irrelevant because his care will be paid for privately.

Fact, once he is in a US hospital the hospital has a duty to provide all care, even unreasonable one according to the doctors.

Actually, this isn't even the truth; however, it is still irrelevant because all they want is a tracheotomy.

Fact his parents do not have health insurance in the US.

I'm starting to suspect that you either have remedial intelligence or are being deliberately obtuse.

A person DOES NOT NEED INSURANCE if they plan on paying for it themselves.

Father Pavone has already lined up a private jet to transport Baby Joseph and his parents, do you really believe that he can't come up with the money for a tracheotomy? A tracheotomy costs less than $5000.00.

Once in a US hospital, the parents may ask any kind of care beside a tracheotomy even if now they say they want only that. This is the reason no well-managed hospital should agree to take baby Joseph. The Michigan children hospital has already declined saying they cannot offer to baby Joseph any treatment he didn't get in London.

Maybe the problem is the litigious aspect in the care system... I don't know. What I know is that the medical system has to choose because it cannot provide infinite care to all.
