Somebody donated the money for the baby's care. It sure wasn't any leftist. The left wants to paint this as taxpayers supporting this experimental treatment when it is no such thing. Even if, by some magic, there was no money for Charlie Gard's treatment, the funds would still not be available to "da po' ".im sure you've heard the story . This baby in England has some terrible disease . He's blinded and deaf and only kept alive by a ventilator. In England the doctors think they should pull the plug . The parents want him
To get some experimental treatment in the USA .
The weird part. Two republicans are floating a bill to make the kid and his parents legal residents of the us so they can come over !
Since when do cons care about medical coverage ? Especially for immigrants !
Republicans cynically offer Charlie Gard U.S. citizenship to get the health care they won’t give to others
Leftists just view it as a late stage abortion and want to sell the parts - sad really.
Righties wouldn't have covered the kid to begin with . If you want to throw stones.
Righties would step forward and pay the expenses for this child out of their own pocket.
Lefties would reach into the righties' pockets when they weren't looking, take all of their cash and give half to the family for the child's medical care and keep the other half for administrative fees.
It isn't this child's treatment the left objects to. It's the research and development that gave the experimental treatment. That's what costs. The left wants to stop the advancement of medical science. Maybe they can spend the money on global warming instead. The left is known for being anti science anyway.
Before the ACA babies like him would have to be in a clinical trial as no insurances would accept him or he would of reached his cap, both of which we no longer have due to the ACA. I think its the Dems that brought the ACA and are fighting to keep it and the Cons who have been trying to derail it since day one.
