Trump enters Charlie Gard debate: 'We would be delighted' to help

Quote:If we can help little #CharlieGard, as per our friends in the U.K. and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so.

So, the socialized health care system decides to take the child off life support rather than allowing the parents to seek experimental help in the US using their own funds. Conversely, the POTUS says we want to help.

So he wants to use American tax dollars to help someone in another country?

Has the kid been properly vetted to make sure he's isn't a Muslim terrorist undercover as a sick kid.

That's not the case but I remember a case something like you said. Remember when the first travel ban was put in place and the baby from one of those countries couldn't get in the U.S. for treatment? I'm sure you don't but I can look it up for you if needed. That baby was treated for free at the hospital and free by the doctors. Don't recall you having the same concerns then.

These parent raised 1.5 million for the treatment their child needs


Iranian baby caught in travel ban will get surgery in US, hospital says

Physicians in Tehran sent the results of Fatemeh's echocardiogram to doctors in Portland, who reviewed her case and said she needs to be operated on urgently.
Doctors at OHSU Doernbecher have agreed to waive their fees, and the hospital will ensure the majority of the surgery is covered, the hospital said.

I didn't see anywhere in there where he said anything about Tax Dollars being used.

And as WKUYG said, they already received enough donations to cover the expenses of the procedure.

So the strawman argument fails yet again!

Well, not nearly as many American tax dollars like Obama used to help out Iran, but whatever.

No, little gruber.

As has been reported, the family has raised enough donations to send him here for treatment.

Uhhhh, no.

GoFundme has raised approx 1.9 mm as of yesterday afternoon, probably in excess of 2 mill by now.

It's the NHS board of "ethics in care" or some Orwellian named agency telling the parents they can't spend their own funds/donations to get treatment for their kid. Told to simply let him die "in dignity".

And others want to make jokes about this. No, UK is not on the previous admins list of failed terror sponsoring states.

Sad.

The only thing stopping the family from trying to help the child is the family's government.

Yep! Because the state will disregards the immeasurable value of human life and instead equates it to $$$.

And the radical left said it was conservatives who would kill people.

The last eight years showed us the left couldn't pour piss out a boot if you put the instructions on the sole.
