Great news! US doctors will fly to the UK to examine Charlie Gard. With all the leftists praying for single payer healthcare, the UK and Charlie Gard are a perfect example of the bad examples of single payer. They have death panels, and if the ‘authorities’ in the UK had their way, Charlie Gard would be dead by now. They wouldn’t need US doctors to fly over there to try and help the little infant. Liberals will never get it.

An American doctor will head to the UK next week to examine Charlie Gard, the 11-month old boy suffering from a rare genetic disorder.
High Court Judge Nicholas Francis said Friday that he was “open-minded about the evidence” to come after the visit of Dr. Michio Hirano of Columbia University Medical Center.
Hirano’s research focuses on mitochondrial diseases and genetic myopathies and he has treated others with conditions similar to Charlies.
The New York doctor, who is also a professor of neurology at Columbia, testified on Thursday that Charlie has a 10 percent chance of improving with experimental treatment available in the U.S. The judge ruled he could meet with Charlie’s doctors to discuss his case.
Charlie’s parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, have been in a bitter legal battle with the hospital to keep him alive. On Thursday, they walked out of a courtroom after arguing with the judge, but returned later in the day.
