Socialized medicine “wins” in the United Kingdom: The parents of Charlie Gard, a child who suffers from a rare genetic condition, have given up their bid to move their child to their home to let him pass away in peace and at home.
The hospital insisted that they could not accommodate the parents’ request with a staff member needing to be present with the family and child, along with the inaccessibility of equipment.
It appears that socialized medicine did “win”, where the desires of a nationalized government health care system won out when pitted against the wishes of family members.
