GoFundMe pays for dogs to get heart transplants at this point. Also, BTW, most, if not all, of experimental treatments are free to the patients. Because they are experimental.

In other words, disconnect and die with dignity. Expand Goodness. I wonder what the experimental cutting edge cancer treatment costs, and how it can be covered under the policy everyone suggests is too expensive to begin with? You're making an emotional argument regarding a financial issue. The contract chosen outlines coverage and benefits in exchange for the premium paid. If you're going emotional, why not have the doctor/hospital/pharmaceutical donate services, the govt forgive all taxes, tolls and fees, Verizon toss in free cell service, and Dunkin donuts send munchkins for breakfast? It sucks when cancer comes to call, but its silly to suggest that there should be no limits to treatments.

I provided you with a very recent and specific example of the English and EU court system refusing to allow a patient care which, absent a "government death panel" they would have been able to obtain. It wasn't grand standing at all. It happens. I've provided you evidence that's how those systems actually work. You might not like the language, which was loaded for political impact, but I leave it to you to explain to the board how Charlie Gard was not an example of a "government death panel" in action.

Why doesn't anyone care about "kids in cages" anymore? Expand You have not read enough. In some cases patients are able to collect money in locations where such medical practiced occur but are not allowed/approved. They then fly from Cuba to the US to have it done. Or, they make it illegal to leave the country to seek medical care primarily. Or they flat out refuse like the Britt kid when others want to fund it. The government didn't care about the children! Didn't think about the children!
