You think the issue of the baby in England is just another story of individuals dealing with a personal tragedy? You're wrong. The story involves all of us. It involves all of us in a very serious manner. It is part of the thus far nonviolent civil war we fight here in America – a war, again, like the first Civil War, for the soul of our country. It is the war between Western, liberal Judeo-Christian values and the values of leftism. It's a war between the individual as the focus of our lives and culture and the big state as the focus.
Just look at the stark realities that have played out in England. Its health care system is now completely absorbed by the state. (Ours is well on the way.) The focus was the state, faceless, unaccountable, a massive bureaucracy armed with tremendous power shared with the politicians up in their distant offices, the unelected judges with their lifetime appointments, and the government employee doctors all on one side, and the individuals – Mom, Dad, and the baby – on the other. Who do you suppose won this give-and-take, this health care transaction? Talk about inequality. Those on the left are livid if the guy next door has a BMW and themselves only a Toyota, but they don't blink an eye at the truly massive inequality inherent in state versus individual power. The state in England crushed Mom. The state eliminated Dad. And the state has told the baby his life is up, and he's ready to die. But of course, keep in mind that all the state actors wrap their actions in words of kindness, compassion, and what is best for all concerned, serving the will of the people, and acting for the common good –

Thank God for the 2nd Amendment.
It is NOT just socialized medicine that is the problem. The government has taken control of your children’s education and even family life. All across this country, parents are losing custody of their children just because some do-gooder doesn’t like how the child is being raised. This has been happening for decades.
The simple truth is that most people see themselves as wards of the state ... even while they offer worthless blather about how "free" they think they are.
The Alfie Evans case never would have been a news story if he had been born to Amish parents.
What kind of person would want to be ruled over by the parasites of society?
They don't see it that way. They actually just don't like the prospect of being truly free ... because that means you'd never have your sick child in a government-run hospital in the first place.

I wonder how these Nazis sleep at night.
They seem very determined to carry out their death sentences. Italy asked to take him in.
Does anyone else see hypocrisy? Little Prince Louis was not born in a NHS hospital, but at a private facility. If the little prince needed medical care available only outside the country there would be no bureaucratic foot dragging or government doctors wringing their hands saying there is nothing to be done...he would immediately be on a plane to where ever the care was he needed. If you are a royal, wealthy or have political connections you bypass the NHS. It is only the average blokes who get
If “free” healthcare where faceless bureaucrats decide who gets care, what care you get and if you live or die.
And it wouldn’t have cost them a cent, just as it wouldn’t have cost them anything to bring Charlie Gard here. But in both cases, they disallowed that.
I think their biggest fear was that these young children would go somwhere else adn survive. Then how would they look?
