By now, most of you have probably heard about the case in Canada where the parents of a baby with a terminal affliction are in a fight with the hospital where their son is being treated at. The hospital wants to take away the baby's ventilator regardless of what the parents want. The parents want a tracheotomy performed so that the baby can be taken home... basically so that the baby can die at home. I would like to think that its just the single hospital that has taken the action and its not representative of what the entire Canadian health care system... if it is the entire system, I don't think it's going to show them in a very good light. The right to care should be up to the parents in this case. The parents know that their baby doesn't have long to live and want the baby to spend that little bit of time remaining with them... I can certainly emphasize with that, I'd might do the same thing in that situation.
Hopefully the hospital does the right thing and let's the parents do what they wish!

The government makes most decisions regarding the health care. If a patient want to pursue treatment or not want to wait 6 months to a year or more for treatment they were coming to USA and paying out of pocket for treatments.
Years ago a friend of mine from Canada come to MI to start breast cancer treatment. She would have died waiting for treatment in Canada because she was only 26 and it was a very fast aggressive type. She got treatment east side of state and 10 years later is cancer free. Course they are still paying for the loan they took out to cover the cost.
This is what we have to look forward to here in USA. Expensive treatments will be denied to all but those who have $$ or those in Congress who have unlimited free health care. Review the ObamaCare manual.
Doesn't government-backed 'unequal care' violate the "Equal Protection Under Law" cited in the Fourteenth Amendment, the liberals so often quote?
Public Servants should not be treated better than their Masters.
