For the Children...

I wonder if this is what Governor Pawlenty had in mind when he said he wanted to expand MNCare to the states uninsured children.

"BRITAIN’S top medical ethics expert has urged doctors to let the most premature babies die, with treatment offered only in exceptional cases.
Baroness Warnock believes Britain should follow Holland in setting an age limit below which babies would not routinely be resuscitated. "

Needless to say, condemnation of this has been swift!

"Critics condemned the report, for imposing a "blanket ban" on treatment and demanded that each case be assessed on its merits."

This is what you get when you have the government in charge of health care decisions - as opposed to doctors and patiente! What in heavens name were you thinking yesterday? Putting more people on the government dole is NOT conservative. That is something for another post and something you may want to consider Mr. Governor.
