Lets duplicate European government health care

And completely give up our rights to make our own decisions for our children.
Bristol local authority : Action for Eddie - help get my son Eddie out of hospital in Newcastle and home to Bristol

First of, that sounds like a horrible situation. How I read this tough, it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with socialised healthcare but more something to do with a child that needs very particular care that can't be provided at your local hospital. I am European, but my wife is American and I am more then willing to compare both are healthcare systems, both in quality as comparitive cost.

In a private system the government would take care of your interest because if a hospital refused to release a child to their parents they could be charged with kidnapping.

Yes, let's, and what we don't like about it we can fix. We used to be the can-do people, remember? Now we are the do jack-shits.

That's simply not true. If said child is deemed dangerous to himself or the ppl around him. What in the article is established. Say you have a child that's violent and that child kills a neighbour. That hospital would be held accountable and huge damages woulld be demanded in the US. Tell me that I'm wrong.

Not exactly...witness Justina Pelletier being kidnapped and held against her (and her parents') will for nearly 2 years at Boston Children's...destroying her health and bankrupting her family in the process!

And I'll illustrate my point of the way health care works in my country (Belgium). Now understand something, no country in Europe has the exact same way of providing healthcare, so i can't speak knowledgable for all countries. My wife before she was my wife,was here when she slipped down the stairs. She suffered a compound fracture in her ankle. We went to the ER in the middle of the night. Within 8 hours she got seen, X-rayed, received emergency surgery ( got a pin stuck in),was setup for a follow up appointment and was home the same day.We had no legal ties, yet nobody asked how she was going to pay. I ended up paying the bill of course wich came to about 600 euro. Ask yourself how this scenario would play out in the US.
