NHS: Starving Alfie to death was just 'redirecting care'

The fact that you've had to stoop to the Daily Heil Online tells me all I need to know. I can't even be bothered to access that putrid organ

Because I have a sense of decency. ..i don't want to have to wash my hands afterwards

And naturally all the sources used meet with the same disdain. :rolleyes:

Denial is more than just a river in Africa. It's alive right here at BB in the person of a defensive Brit who loves to be critical of most things American but can't stand it when his native Utopia is criticised.

No the Guardian is a decent rag. But I'm surprised you cited it as it's pretty liberal by your standards and the articles are what you would characterise as 'whining' as they illustrate the underfunding problems of the NHS

I cited it because it backs up my statements, as they all do. And there are dozens more. So now you'd rather whine some more about underfunding.

Underfunding is just an excuse. No matter how much money is put into it, it will never be enough and care will still be rationed.

It is the nature of socialized medicine to ration medical care. They all do it.

But I'm not sure they all refuse parents the right to care for their own child and insist on killing him themselves. That's a new low.

Alfie was not killed. He died. Quit with the misinformation.

And all the cases you cited could have gone private, same as in the States

He died because we don't keep people alive artificially indefinitely when there is no hope. Neither do you; name a medical insurance company in the US which will pay for someone who is brain dead to be kept alive indefinitely

No it gives the lie to your 'socialized medicine' clap trap; the NHS is not the only health care provided in the UK

Total cop out. Not everyone can afford the private care with the confiscatory tax policies of your welfare utopia.

The poor and middle class are stuck with a lousy failed system that rations care based on age and expense. Where do they go? Nowhere. They just get to live in pain or get sicker until they die.

Voila! No more burden for your "free" medical system.

Pathetic.

Done here. Your system has been shown for what it is.

Alfie was an Italian citizen who the British courts confined to the hospital to be starved to death, and ordered that the parents could not remove him from the hospital to seek other treatment.

Murder it was, and murder most foul.

More poppycock. Private health insurance premiums are not that expensive. I've used private healthcare twice when I was in a hurry for non-urgent treatment

More misinformation. You can't even spell his name.

The 23-month-old had been at the centre of a life-support fight that saw him granted Italian citizenship so that he might receive treatment in Rome.

On Tuesday, a judge ruled he will not be allowed to go to Italy for further treatment.

Parents Tom Evans and Kate James, both in their early 20s and from Liverpool, were represented in court to appeal against the decision, however it was again rejected.
