Little Alfie Evans in the UK has sadly passed away this morning after the UK government, rationing their medical care because of socialized medicine decided to take Evans off life support, despite his parents pleas to keep him alive. But in June of 2017, we had a very similar insinuator in this country that basically was a death panel for a 7 month year old baby because of ObamaCARE. Last June, Steffen Rivenburg Jr. was removed from life support after a judge denied an appeal by Rivenburg’s parents to keep their son alive at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He died shortly thereafter.

A 7-month-old boy has died after a judge denied an appeal filed by the parents to keep him on life support at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Steffen Rivenburg Jr. was removed from life support on Thursday afternoon. The child’s biological parents filed court orders to keep their son on life support, but a Montgomery County judge denied appeals, deciding the doctors know what’s best.
“I don’t know how I’m going to live without him,” said Trish Tornberg, the baby’s mother. “He’s a character, and he’s a great kid. He’s a good baby.”
The family said the baby should have had a heart transplant, but doctors at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital cared for the child and said he couldn’t handle a transplant.
So, you want healthcare like the UK has? Seems like we got some of it already.
