Are the parents not paying for the treatment? I'm sure the govt isn't paying for some alternative treatment. It seems that the govt wants to pay for the boy's chemo. If that's the case, then saving taxpayer money isn't what it's about, is it. I still wonder how they're going to force the boy to have chemo if he's uncooperative. I guess they'll have to knock him out first.
