Sad and maddening news today in the case of U.K. infant Charlie Gard:
JUST IN: Parents of terminally ill British baby Charlie Gard have given up legal fight over treatment for their son https://t.co/RcChV2Zf3b pic.twitter.com/XATN7cXC8Z

LATEST: Mother of UK baby Charlie Gard says we have decided it is no longer in his best interests to pursue treatment pic.twitter.com/WC0RRA0UTA

But the real story is more frightening than those headlines indicate:

A U.S. doctor had agreed to see Charlie Gard but a U.K. courts blocked the family from seeking treatment elsewhere. After the delays, the family now says it’s too late.
It's obscene that Charlie Gard's parents have to ask their government for permission to treat their child, welcome to single-payer.

Will socialized medicine proponents in the U.S. be asked about the horrifying effects “single payer” brings with it?
And not a single Democrat was asked by our media where they stand on parental rights re: this case. https://t.co/NMnLi8f8LZ

Seems pretty relevant when Dems are out in force giving interviews about pushing their own NHS.

Reason Dems weren't asked about Charlie Gard is because every single journalist out there knows how bad their answer is.

Dear Media,
Can you find me one comment from a Democrat regarding the Charlie Gard situation? I'm having a hard time tracking one down.

We won’t hold our breath that the MSM will knock down any doors to ask for comment.
Same folks who mocked govt death panels kind of quiet about Charlie Gard.
