Thanks for clarifying that. It appears to have been largely a failure of the British Healthcare system, then...But in any case, certainly a governmental failure...

The family received over two million dollars in donations.....

they want to come to the US because to gain access to somewhat experimental research on the condition.  

"It now seems abundantly and shockingly clear: Great Britain’s kangaroo High Court and the country’s National Health Service system of socialist medicine are trying to kill baby Charlie Gard.

These two entities – the National Health Service, or NHS, backed up by the legal authority of the British courts – hold total power over innocent little Charlie. His life and death are in their hands. But are they ethically and judiciously employing that power?

Under a system of government-controlled, socialized medicine, the state does have the authority to determine the life and death of every individual who resides within the country’s borders. The Charlie Gard case is the perfect illustration of that power and how it can be wickedly wielded. We’ve heard the term Death Panels, and here they are for all to see."

I didn't follow the case until I heard the end, which is sad no matter what...

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that case. But if little Charlie Gard died because of government healthcare regulations, it is indeed infuriating...

The problem is - the people voted and put that government there. In power. To make those kind of decisions.
