“The ONLY people talking about taxpayer money are you and the other death panel advocates. “

Except that baby Joseph is a Canadian covered under Canada’s system which means that you have to talk about financial considerations as no private organization has covered anything for the moment. The cost has been the Canadian taxpayer’s.

And if there is need for home care it won’t be a private organization that will pay but again the Canadian taxpayer.

So speaking of private organization paying anything is a red herring in this case. Up to now, the only organization who has paid for baby Joseph’s care is the Canadian government.

You may dislike it, but Canada has adopted this system in the 70s if I recall well. Baby Joseph’s family has not renounced the right to be treated free by the state to my knowledge, so the state has a say in his treatment.

You may call it whatever it is, but it is the situation in Canada.

That's because he's in a Canadian hospital you moron. His parents are among the taxpayers paying. ALL healthcare in Canada is paid for by the government and the citizens pay extremely high taxes.

And if there is need for home care it won’t be a private organization that will pay but again the Canadian taxpayer.

The home ventilator is already paid for and it was paid for PRIVATELY.

So speaking of private organization paying anything is a red herring in this case. Up to now, the only organization who has paid for baby Joseph’s care is the Canadian government.

The government will not release his records and has not released him from the hospital.

Private funds HAVE paid for the home ventilator.

So speaking of private organization paying anything is a red herring in this case.

You couldn't possibly be more wrong.

Baby Joseph’s family has not renounced the right to be treated free by the state to my knowledge, so the state has a say in his treatment.

They have asked for his records, as is their right, so they can bring Baby Joseph to America.
