"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."

Who exactly is Obama's doctor? Lawrence Fishburne?

[pissant]

What an ignorant marxist bitch he is.

"I am very worried about federal spending. We are doing better but we have to even more. I cut the F-22 program to save money. We need to do more to close the %7.3 Trillion gap that we inherited (from the evil Bush-Cheney). That's why it's so important to do so now."

Huh?

Obama: multiple tests by doctors is "wasting money"

So the answer here, at least in part, is Tort Reform and Loser Pays.

That’s what he said and I had to leave the room. My husband is watching and I couldn’t take it, so it’s back to FR for me.

The Narcissist in Chief now has a medical degree.

In effect he’s saying, “The Government will provide you with your first, second and final medical opinion on your treatment.”

[KarlInOhio]

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. I don't know how often that is actually done, especially for big things like MRIs. Maybe a blood test will be redone because $20 to do it again is easier than pissing around for an hour to tranfer the results.

Short, sweet open ended questions - give him the rope to hang himself with... The guy will take an open-ended question and just bury it in circuitous verbiage. He has no idea that he comes across as a loquacious, arrogant politician, the antithesis of a decisive leader.

[TiredofItalltoo]

I’m sure he never watches “House” - they run a test multiple times on the same episode! The SAME doctors!! Doctors make mistakes every single day.

** OBAMA: SAVING LIVES IS A WASTE OF MONEY **

[livius]

OMG. He really said this?

Dumb as a post. Inarticulate as a stump. Ambitious as Hitler.

[Political Junkie Too]

Does that mean that getting a second opinion is also wasting money?

>”Multiple tests by doctors waste money. And I’m going to change that.”

President Obama elaborated, “I’m going to change that by eliminating all the expensive procedures and equipment.. everyone’s medical tests will be directed to Joe Biden and a magic 8-ball instead.”

>”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.”

Obama continued, “because it is a well known fact that ALL pills do the same thing, regardless of color, just like Presidents.”

[VeniVidiVici]

Huh?

I’d rather have too many tests than not enough. And as has been said on here before, if they would actually pass tort reform they wouldn’t need to worry about the number of tests.

But with the President and VP both lousy lawyers, there is even less of a chance with tort reform now than under the Republicans.

Why have we wasted so much time going to doctors?

All we ever needed was a community organizer to teach us how to take care of ourselves.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Wait, so this Marxist idiot doesn’t believe in a second opinion. Hey Obama, my cousin many months ago had a CT Scan which showed a spot on his right kidney, his doctor told him it was nothing, so he got a second opinion, he told him to remove it, and guess what, turns out it was the earliest of earliest stage of Kidney cancer, if he had not had it removed, it would have grown.

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

[ArrogantBustard]

You're joking, right?

Tell me you're joking.

That has to be a joke.

That or Zero is a gibbering lunatic ...
