This story is just so tragic. I'm old enough to remember a time when doctors would spare no effort - no matter how difficult or experimental - to save the life of a child. That's no longer the case. Nowadays, it seems federally-run healthcare systems would rather its "problem cases" just shuffle off the mortal coil and spare "the system" a lot of headaches. Since single-payer care is the ultimate in rationed care, regulations and federal power trump life.
...At least that's what happened to Charlie Gard, whose parents have ended their efforts to take their son to the United States for treatment.
