This is exactly the point in the ruling by the NHS and the courts to forbid their free citizens from leaving the country. If they are allowed to flee the heart-wrenching consequences of socialism, then others will want to do the same?

I don't think that's it, frankly. I think it's more basic. Bureaucrats ruled that he's essentially dead already and should be denied care. If he goes somewhere else and thrives they look stupid, cruel, and heartless. From their perspective, it's better the baby die than they be embarrassed like that. There it is, and thats why they will fight it tooth and nail.
