Well, the man is making sense on this point. An enormous % of US medical expenditure is on patients who are dead within 3 months.

....hey BAMBI, check with the Schiavo family, like you did with the 9/11 families......

[netmilsmom]

At this point, there is nothing we can do about it.

Just please pass me the Morphine and let me go painlessly. Morphine is pretty cheap and basically the decision is out of my hands.

[Secret Agent Man]

Okay, he’s just explained why we should not go to this model. That you Obama for refuting your own healthcare plan.

He is such a liar. It is not “may”, it is “will”. What a pathological commie lib.

[Frantzie]

Older Americans who worked all their lives and paid taxes need to sacrifice to insure illegal aliens get the best free health care and ENDLESS other govt benefits.

I mean really stop complaining or inconveniencing illegal aliens.

Since Obama, nothing about life has any meaning. Nobody, babies, family, friends, parents, grandparents mean anything. A person can wake up in the morning to the promise of a new day.....until you remember Obama....it goes downhill from there.

Life is all about the state, making sure we work to pay for those that keep the evil democrats in power.

I am ashamed of all of us for allowing this evil to overpower the the decency of humans.

Quite frankly, death is preferable to serving evil.

...when you consider the amount of government waste,illegals, and out and out FRAUD THE government refuses to address, our medicaid coverage would be a quarter of what we pay now...THEY the government allow all sorts of illegals to obtain benefits meant for AMERICANS, AND THEN complain about the cost....and HOW THEY ARE GOING TO FIX IT sorry for the shouting, but if I typed what I was saying here, I'd get banned

[SteamShovel]

I would have paid out of pocket for that hip replacement, just because she’s my grandmother.

I'd lay odds you and I will NOT have the option to go outside the system.

The government system will have to force everyone to play by their rules without a parallel out of pocket system. Otherwise, they will not be able to force Physicians to work by their rules and pay scales.

“is a very difficult question”

Which on my behalf, is above his pay grade unless he gets a medical license and becomes my doctor or becomes my guardian (which I believe is his goal for all of us, to control our income and our lives because he is so much better than “we”)

Let’s just guess what he would have chosen for poor Toot if she had not had the marbles to make her own decision....the fact that she chose the chance to live without hip pain for her remaining days- should in itself tell him the decision IS NOT “HIS” (or THE GOVTS) to make.

Barack said that we would all receive the same care as senators and representatives. Since Ted Kennedy is terminally ill and old, does this mean that he is footing the entire bill for his health care? How about Ruth Bader?

[Nachum]

The List, ping

[spectre]

There might be federal guide lines about the age appropriate treatment course.

For example....a person over the age of 70 who has old age related degenerative knees will be denied life improving knee replacements, etc.

Or worse yet, people could be denied treatment if they are X number of pounds overweight, smoke cigarettes, or drink alcohol because they "contributed" to their own health problems.

Illegals will get special medical care cuz we wouldn't want to appear "racist".

Isn’t Obama’s Grandmother a perfect example of his scheme for health care?

She goes to the hospital for hip problems and a couple of months later she is dead.

Is this really the type of health care we need or is it legalized genocide of the geriatric?

[puppypusher]

This country would have plenty of Health care dollars available if we were not caring for Non-Americans who are coming here by the millions every year.

We could also save money by repealing laws that require the police to take Intoxicated Persons to the Hospital every time they are found lying on the sidewalk.

Your average drunk can cost the taxpayers millions of dollars every year in Ambulance Rides and care at the hospital.

That go's double for Narcotic abusers who have a history of Narcotics abuse.

Those are good places to start cutting back.

Ah, the wonders of COMMUNIST planning, eh, Goober.

Once this gets rationalized think how easy this "well they're a drain" is to apply to the military.

Johnny lost his leg...... we could get him a replacement, a blood transfusion, antibiotics, pain killers, and physical therapy, but he'll just be a useless eater unable to contribute to the "greater good."

[Velveeta]

“I would have paid out of pocket for that hip replacement, just because she’s my grandmother.

So why didn't you pay for it, Barry?
In fact, Barry - you can still pay back the cost, if you so choose.
