No it's worse. It forces us into the loving arms of insurance companies working in concert with federal bureaucrats.
What could possibly go wrong there?

Someone is grateful that their kid can get needed medical treatment and this is your response.
Got it.

Life ain't fair, and nobody "deserves" an equal opportunity.
This is the kind of socialism Oblamo has been feeding America since entering politics.
Thankfully BO will be standing on Pennsylvania avenue with his thumb out on Wedsnday morning with red- rimmed, tear stained eyes as Romney balls up Obamocare and scores two in the waste basket with it.

What's worse is that almost an hour went by between when he posted this:

Citizens have a natural right to "life" in this country. Don't like it? Go be anti-American somewhere else.

Who said the child would be denied the operation?

The only question is who will pay for it.

In this case, the insurance company will pay for it and then pass the expense along to the rest of us in form of higher premiums.

While this may give us a warm fuzzy feeling, the end result is other families (perhaps not as wealthy as the family in the story) will pay more for insurance, fewer employers will offer insurance and families that we don't hear about will be bankrupted because they have no insurance at all.

I'm glad the kid will have the treatment she needs paid for, but let's not pretend the pain isn't felt elsewhere by other people.

Nuh-uh....sorry. America is what we make it, not what you dream it should be.
Premium healthcare is not free. Those who can afford it "EARN IT". Those who can't
"Are Entitled to Nothing". It's tough, I know. Just don't shovel that "What about the children?" crapola my direction, cause I'll fling it right back at ya!

If this is the kind of socialism that the President is feeding, then I am in the tank. I care about children. Do you? You would prefer she just die. Is that the kind of compassion that Romney is feeding...hmmm.

I think Romney should make that his campaign slogan.

I'll be that these people are anti-abortion. More of "Save the Fetus, Screw the Child" hypocrisy from the radical right.
