Picture of democrat's future health care

Why do you hear about Canadians, Englishmen, and many others coming to America for their medical treatments? Could it be that we don't yet have the government-run, one-payer system that the democrats keep pushing?

·         President Donald Trump on Monday offered the nation's help to Charlie Gard, the terminally ill British baby with a rare genetic disease and brain damage.

Last week, his parents Connie Yates and Chris Gard lost a heart-wrenching legal battle to jet him to the United States for experimental therapy that British courts concluded will not work.

The Great Ormond Street Hospital in London was set to turn off Charlie's life support Friday. But the hospital later decided to give the parents more time with him.

 

And on Sunday, Pope Francis called for the parents to be allowed to do everything possible to treat the 10-month-old tot, reversing a previous Vatican position after a swell of complaints.

Charlie's parents raised nearly $1.7 million to pay for his treatment in the U.S. Twitter users have decried the British single-payer healthcare system for its refusal to let their son get treatment.

Charlie is unable to breathe on his own and relies on assistance from an oxygen machine.
