One day after Obama laughs at the mention of death panels and rationed care within the context of his health care bill Drudge
digs up this gem. What a surprise:
“I don’t know how much that hip replacement cost,” Obama said in the interview. “I would have paid out of pocket for that hip replacement just because she’s my grandmother.”
Obama said “you just get into some very difficult moral issues” when considering whether “to give my grandmother, or everybody else’s aging grandparents or parents, a hip replacement when they’re terminally ill.
“That’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues,” he said in the April 14 interview. “The chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health-care bill out here.”
Hmmm....what do you think he means by this?
Its funny that the left keeps putting out the same debunked myths and falsehoods after volumes of evidence continues to pile up. And I mean "same". The much
anticipated response by the White House to the opinions of those they are tracking through their enemies list is nothing more than the old arguments that have already been shredded.
Again I'll ask- if he really wants to reduce the costs of health care while improving quality why is tort reform no where to be found, where is the crackdown on illegal immigration, where are the dollar for dollar tax deductions for health care costs? The answer is that these decisions would cost the left a lot of money (trial lawyers), control (lower taxes mean less government agencies) and base support.
All he has to show for his "vision" is a massive spending bill that takes all sorts of decisions out of the hands of individuals. Instead of parents, sons, daughters, loved ones or you making the decision - it will be Obama. Obama, the man who voted against a bill that would protect the
life of a child who survived an abortion and overturned the
Mexico City Policy is asking you to trust him with your life and the life of your loved ones.
By the way, he overturned the Mexico City Policy while preaching fiscal responsibility. I guess paying poor countries to help mothers kill their children is one way to cut costs and denying care to the elderly or the terminally ill is another.
Will your life be worth saving?
