Private healthcare routes were open to those parents, if they could raise the money, which is the same cruel quandary facing parents in the USA. Of course, many parents in that situation want to delay their grief, but arguably there shouldn't be a way to buy that if it's also paid in a child's agony

So in other words, universal healthcare doesn't work.

Yes, it does. I don't know why you're so hung up on the rejection of hopeless cases, which even a fully private system will do, rather than the enormous number of preventable deaths that private systems allow to happen, or the lives that get ruined with debt and all the knock-on effects thereof.

Because I don't think they were "hopeless" cases if doctors in other countries were willing to offer their services and care to do everything they could to save the child's life.

The infant mortality rate in the US is 140% of the rate in the UK. The American private healthcare system does not care more about babies, and it does the opposite of saving more babies.
