Obama is merely reading from the playbook that Tom Daschle started, which clearly stated that doctors in America need to follow the European model and be able to accept a "hopeless diagnosis", especially with the elderly. They also said that old people need to "accept" the pains and problems that come with age and not necessarily to expect expensive therapies to relieve the inevitable.

In other words, Grandma won't get the hip replacement, and Grandpa won't get expensive meds. All you old people need to accept that you're dying. We have a vast new beaurocracy to pay for.

Hey, we’re all dying from the moment of conception. If the good care is given to the young, then it will prolong their lives so they can live longer, and then there will be more old people to take care of in the future. So why give good care to anyone?

The Kenyan communist fraud is now a medical expert? IMO he’s not even qualified to be a friggin’ lawyer!
