Usually if you're that sick, a joint replacement is off the radar.
There's a lot of good things that the current system does for the elderly and I just can't wait till the bluehairs that voted for Obama realize they are paying more and getting less.
By 2030, one in every five Americans will be 65 or older.
If you’re THAT sick, a hip replacement is probably not high on the list.
BUT, down the road they could be a different scenario.
I love the way that Obambi says that HE would have paid for the hip replacement himself...just because it’s his grandma! Of course, looking at the charitable contributions on his tax returns, especially before announcing his candidacy, it is obvious that HE has never spent his own money on anything that doesn’t directly benefit him! And if Toots was soooo dear to him, why did he wait for days to go to her bedside when she was ill?...and why did her brother say it was a simple hip replacement and then a week later she is dead of cancer? No doctor would do a major joint replacement on an obviously terminal patient. Just another in a long line of very strange situations that the media is incredibly disinterested in investigating!
