How's that Obamacare Repeal Working Out For You?

Doctors backed by courts. Forget governments it is nothing to do with them.

If the people involved refuse to comply it is the government who will use violence to make sure they do.

It is the government, even if they delegate the power to someone else.

Not the govt' making the decisions though just enforcing the judicial conclusion.

If I'm your landlord. And I appoint someone who makes decisions regarding how the place is run I am responsible for whatever decisions are made.

Much like I can revoke the authority of that appointee, so can the government. It is the governments responsibility.

However if the people of the U.K. Don't like it, they could elect people who would revoke that authority. They don't, so on some level it must work for them. And that's all that matters.

We do the same shit, we just cover it up with CPS, and yank the kid away to the loving arms of the state.

You are talking to someone whos son spent the first days of his life in a NicU. Don't talk about shit you don't know anything about.

I have a friend who lost custody of her kid when the hospital didn't want to pay for treatment anymore. I'm pretty fucking familiar with it.

Familiar and living through it are two different things.

I'm familiar with WWII. I didn't live through it.

Yet many people who did not storm the beaches of Normandy are qualified to speak on the subject.

I respectfully request an honest answer to two questions:

How is the court's order "backing" the doctors to be enforced?

Who licensed the doctors to make *any* medical decisions in the first place?

Q1...I refer the honorable gentleman to my earlier statement.
Q2...The General Medical Council

You got it right! :goteam:

"The State."

GMC is not the State. It's an independantly run, self funded charity.

LOL. Cognitive dissonance is entertaining, if nothing else. Thanks.
