Socialist medicine, it becomes your parents....

If this story is accurate it just shows,that once you surrender control of your healthcare to greedy, corrupt politicians, and distant cold bureaucrats, you will no longer be parents of your children where medical decisions are involved...

Parents Arrested For Seeking Private Medical Treatment For Terminally Ill Son

The parents of a five-year-old who was denied lifesaving treatment on the National Health Service have been arrested for kidnap after desperately trying to get their son so the Czech Republic, where he could be treated privately. Ashya King has a brain tumour but doctors refused to use proton laser treatment that could save his life, which led the family to take him out of hospital in the effort to find the treatment abroad.

Whilst it is legal to seek alternative treatment when the NHS is not willing to help, the authorities are able to claim that moving the patient is dangerous. This can leave parents of sick children with few options but to abscond.

coming to America one day...Big Brother can be cruel....

This happened in Europe, it did not happen in America where it would not be illegal to seek treatment abroad. What did it have to do with healthcare, exactly? Sounds like a matter of family court and Europe's iron fist when it comes to controlling the general populace.

It's coming to the U.S.? Just like Sharia law, eh?
