I’m glad someone gets it. How cruel of American bureaucracy that we can’t find a way to let this poor baby have her parents with her.
America is as bad as Canada in this story.
I agree.
The “powers that be” could have made an exception.
These people were of no importance.
Meanwhile Jacko is still dead tho.
You are wrong. This is not America’s problem. The Buffalo hospital is taking in the baby, as American hospitals do with thousands of other Canadian medical cases on a regular basis, because we have more doctors, nurses, RTs, PTs, lab techs, hospital beds, ventilators, etc, than Canadian hospitals. It is because the government decides how many “beds” will be staffed in each town, that they do not have enough.
Yes, it is very sad that this baby is separated from both parents, but this is not a new or unanticipated situation. Canadian health officials have been using American hospitals to give care to Canadians for more than ten years.
It is not possible to enter the US “legally” with a criminal record. Perhaps, Canadian prenatal care will have to include “get a passport in case you suffer complications in this pregnancy.”
Often mothers are flown to American hospitals to deliver preemies, when no beds are available in Canada. And then the mother is separated from her other children and entire support system that are left behind.
Canadian care for those lucky enough to get it is great, but the system stinks.
While I don’t like the cruel bureaucracy, America is far better (for now) in this story, because the baby has a chance to LIVE with U.S. healthcare!
Prayers for the baby and all concerned!
This is no different than all the countires around the world whose citizens are starving because their government refuses to follow America’s lead in Agriculture.
For over a hundred years we’ve shown the rest of the world how to produce so much food that there are constant surpluses of food. Yet they insist on staying with the same ineffective systems, and their citizens starve to death.
I say let them starve. We’ll burn our surplus food to power our cars and heat our homes. And eat huge portions of steak.
Glad to see you really focussed on the issue at hand and didn't get distracted by incidental Bullsh*t.
