Everyone is pretty insulated from the actual cost of care - Americans without insurance less so than those who come from socialized medicine. These people need to sit down and read some US hospital bills. A NICU baby can accrue a million dollars in charges in a few days. Add in his parents paying for their own…

Don’t forget the living children born in the U.S. to U.S. citizens who are poor and need the insurance provided by ACA.

Trump who wants to the ACA to implode, since he wasn’t able to remove 23 million from it, and drastically cut coverage, wants these people to move here for medical care for their child. Hmm, ok. Would he be paying for that care out of his pocket? Will they now get to sign up for ACA? It just seems so odd to me that…

And how, pray, assuming that the child makes it to the US, will his medical bills be paid? If their 1.3 million is mostly used up just transporting him here, will his bills be paid by Medicaid? You know, that same Medicaid that’s being slashed by 800 gazillion dollars over the next 10 years? That same Medicaid that is…

Vile monsters have spent nearly all of their time working on taking away the most basic of cares for MILLIONS- including those precious fetuses they claim to value and hold so dear so that they can all high five and shout “We did it!” and then stare at their feet for a few uncomfortable moments, embarrassed at their…

People who support this are the same people who look you in the eye and tell you the plight of millions of refugees or undocumented children is “not their problem”. It’s a moral imperative to fight for Baby Charlie but damned if they fight or give some of their precious tax dollars for Baby Cesar or Baby Fatemah.

They’re so lucky... By not being black, Muslim, Pakistanese, Mexicans, etc., etc. If so, the GOP would not only deny entrance, they would be pulling the plug on this kid themselves...

I don’t think this can be correct- the US govt. can offer them residency, but the UK courts do not have to release that child to his parents. The courts stepped in because his (Charlie’s) best interests did not seem to be being served by his parents-an opinion which the courts have all upheld. I can’t see them ruling…

Maybe they should care this much about their own, home-grown beautiful babies and not take away everyone’s healthcare?

Fuck this committee.

So they’ve decided to give these immigrants with a dead child a pass to come to the US and leech off of our system because...pro-life? Meanwhile, the living children and families fleeing civil war zones and at high risk of death/injury need to stay the fuck out of the US because....?

As a parent who has been in this position and has had to make the final decision to end life support, my heart goes out to them, their child, and their family. But the political posturing is disgusting and obscene. They give the illusion of hope when in reality there is none. 10% of improvement in the child’s pain…

Sorry little dude, but this is bullshit. His treatment will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and, even if successful, will see no results worth continuing life. Instead, why don’t we send thousands of kids in for wellness checks or dental exams and cleanings?

I do not understand all of the noise around this child. On a daily basis, children are born with fatal birth defects. And then they die because unfortunately, that happens sometimes. I feel for these parents but there is no mercy in allowing this child to suffer when doctors have made it clear to them that he will…

Hopefully, sometime soon, the U.S. Congress will improve it’s popularity rating in the United States by beginning to tackle problems that affect the United States. But, somehow, I doubt it.

1) FUCK THEM

Good to see the GOP isn’t above using the corpse of a kid (and let’s not mince words here, that kid is dead by all but the most rudimentary of measurements) as both a wedge to keep brown kids out of the US while simultaneously making themselves a prop against single payer healthcare so they can kill a bunch of brown…

Fucking Christ! Is there not one tiny shred of decency left at all in the Republican Party? Every day they find a new way to redefine the concept of disgusting.

Hmph.

I am truly sorry that this baby has such an awful condition, and would love it if there was a *real* treatment for it. That being said, dragging a child halfway around the world for a treatment that they have no idea if it would even work and they KNOW it would not reverse anything seems horrible to me. They aren’t…
