Stepping in when Britain’s socialized medical system failed, American Idol judge Simon Cowell donated nearly $160,000 to help save the life of a cancer-stricken little girl.
This report from London’s Daily Mail tells the story:
The pop Svengali donated the money for 18-month-old Sophie Atay–from Birtley, Gateshead–to fly to the US for pioneering treatment at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York.
He acted after learning the youngster’s family launched a last-ditch appeal for £500,000 to pay for the treatment last week after they were told Sophie was suffering from a rare form of neuroblastoma and needed treatment within days.
Now hold on just a gol-danged minute here. There’s something very fishy about this story.
We all know Great Britain is a paradise where socialized medicine has done away with all sickness. So why does this little English girl have to fly halfway around the world to get medical care in the United States? And for god’s sake, why does a wealthy stranger have to pay for it?
This is obviously a phony story cooked up by evil Republicans in an attempt to keep the United States from having a wonderful socialized medical system like Great Britain.
And we almost fell for it.
