FIRST NOTE this is not a new story: for example this one is from 2007, these stories are happening since their commie healthcare system arose. democrat hailed it as the future, englands citizens warned the lines are long and USA should not copy their (experiment)

NOW FOR TODAY's story:
Justice MacDonald of the High Court on Monday said further treatment on Isaiah Haastrup, who doctors said suffered “catastrophic” brain damage after being deprived of oxygen when he was born, was “not in [the baby’s] best interest,”
----------------------------
OPINION
I understand England's Court decision completely.
* the doctor said it was not worth while (brain dead). gray's anatomy should be enough!
* if England let the family "flee to france for healthcare" it would be a few bad things
(a) a loophole created that allows rich families to use a separate system from the poor. this could cause riots. it would certainly lead to near-zero care for poor and exceptions for the rich: all hidden by a corrupt system. it's a GOOD THING they are standing behind their system as "not corrupt, and without loopholes"
(b) an admission that the system failed and was receiving foreign aid
(c) as some have said: you can't afford anything. if they didn't afford it they didn't afford it. this gets into what should be assured to be funded ahead of time BUT also entails: who it's afford TO and who NOT. There's the Pope insisting his say, and England: who historically does NOT follow the Pope. as to this i only mention factors. as to these two things i only mentioned both sides
