I think Trump will, but their government literally will not allow these people to take their child to America for treatment.
Then GB is now no better than NK.....
This is not even an issue about whether they will pay for his treatment. They obviously will not. The family wants to take their child to America for treatment on their own dime and the government doctors
still won't allow it.
It's the kind of evil shit I see in the VA hospitals all the time but applied to children. Fucking abhorrent.
When the government takes over the direct administration of health care (socialized medicine), they treat human beings as property. I have seen it with my own eyes. That's what is happening here.
With single-payer, the worst you will get is rationing that is not based on your ability to pay. But, like wealthy Canadians, you'd probably be able to go to some other place that is willing to sell you the treatment you desire. Nobody is going to tell you that seeking life-saving treatment is verboten.
