Obama: multiple tests by doctors is "wasting money"
Fox News Channel | 7/22/09

Posted on 07/22/2009 5:33:28 PM PDT by pabianice

Obama's news conference live.

"Multiple tests by doctors waste money. And I'm going to change that. If there is a blue pil and a red pill and the red pill costs twice as much, I want discriminating consumers to select the blue pill."

I am not making this up. Obama is incoherent.

"We had the bank bailout. We had the recovery package. People are saying, 'Look. I'm cutting back.' Let's understand that the same must be applied to healthcare. When I came in, we had a deficit and the US had lost trillions of dollars of wealth. That all just went away. We had 700,000 jobs being lost. So we created a recovery package to stabilize the economy..."

So if I’m allergic to the blue pill, will I be able to get the red pill?

Sure. Just complete Health Care Form 99856 and attach Form 5463 with your doctors signature and don't forget Form 4456 proving that you are current on your income tax.

I think he’s beginning to lose it. I hope he goes berserk on national TV one of these days.

Of course Obama wants consumers to take the blue pill! The blue pill leads back to the mind-controlling Matrix where humans don’t think for themselves. Neo took the red pill and learned the truth. Obama just can’t have a bunch of Neos running around out there armed with truth. It would spoil his master plan.

(I’m sorry. I just couldn’t resist. Huge Matrix fan.)

Q: (Leftist Plant): "Do you have a comment on the arrest of Professor Gates in Cambridge?" (let's change the subject from your being beaten-up on this subject)

Obama: (nice, smarmy answer to defuse the press, lots of yucks), then..."Racial profiling is evil, etc., etc...."

“his fool is insane. Either that or he thinks we are.”

Most crazy people think it’s other people who are insane. So I think the answer to your quandary is that he thinks we are insane.

There’s a German drinking song, “Grad aus dem Wirtshaus komm ich jezt heraus”—”I’ve left the tavern,” in which the singer remarks about how oddly the lampposts stagger and quaver—he’s quite concerned for their welfare.

health records are transferred between physicians, hospitals, clinics all of the time. The test results are mostly always available. 2nd tests are mostly done to verify the results of the first, or looking for any changes.

Just because Dr Obama,oh, he is not a physician?, made that statement, then you can see exactly where government run health care is going. You are going to die and it will be okay with the government. You will consume less resources and occupy less space. God help us all. I believe we are doomed

But my point is still valid. Federal government needs to be rolled all the way back to DC. Get out of education, get out of a whole slew of areas it was never intended to be in, and deal with national defense, federal courts, customs, border security and the other enumerated duties found only in the US Constitution.

That is EXACTLY what I tell everyone! (except that I say that govt should be transparent and out of the way)

You say it better.

I am just a product of publik education....

You forgot the part about proving that you are a bona fide member of a protected class. Old white folks need not apply.

To be honest about it, he is talking about redunant testing because doctor #2 can’t see the tests doctor #1 did so he orders it redone.

_______________________

And if a patient agrees to this, it’s the patient’s fault - not mine. Anyone with half a brain should ask to have the records and/or films sent over, faxed over, sent by computer, sent via overnight delivery OR the patient can pick them up him/herself and take the records into the doctor personally. If he is referring to Medicare problems, well, just who is in charge of THAT?

Think about how many lazy, apathetic Americans we have who believe everything should be handed to them on a silver platter. If someone else is picking up the tab, they aren’t going to care how many times they get tested. I, on the other hand, care - because I have to pay for some of it.

But politely?? :-)

It is, believe it or not, a East Africa thing. Example: "Polite Notice: Thieves will be fed to Pet Leopard."

Take the red pill, or get hit by a bus or have your foot amputated.

Your way of saying it is good too, especially if you’re pressed for time or writing space.

Did he really say that?

Why doesn’t he say how much he spent to BUY the deficit? He wanted it, he got it - a real man would just start working and stop blaming.
