■ As we've long documented here, Britain's Much Vaunted National Health Service© has a fetish for offing innocent children:
"Coroner demands NHS 111 changes after six-year-old Sebastian Hibberd's death"
The poor 6 year old was another victim of free health "care."
Fortunately for Oliver Cameron, his parents were afforded a unique, lifesaving opportunity:
"[T]hanks to the tireless efforts of his parents and doctors at Boston Children’s Hospital, Oliver is alive and thriving today."
He had been born with a non-cancerous tumor, the likes of which British doc's were unable to treat.
#MedicalTourism tourism in action.
■ Meanwhile, on this side of The Pond, our northern neighbors, subject to whims and vagaries of CanuckCare©, seldom fare so fortuitously:

Unfortunately, this will be of benefit only to those who own HSA-compliant plans, which of course means duplicate and unnecessarily expensive coverage for folks in ACA versions.IRS Notice 2019-45 will help HSA holders use high-deductible plans to pay for insulin, statins, etc. on a pre-deductible basis - and it shows that the IRS can tweak the HSA deductible rules by expanding the HDHP preventive services package. https://t.co/jRdhz8dd2j— Allison Bell (@Think_Allison) July 18, 2019
