Elites often propose health care solutions that limit options for the general public, secure in the knowledge that if they or their loves ones get sick, they will be able to afford the best care available, even if it's not provided by insurance.
Devinsky asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldn't seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan he's proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get.
The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that if "it's my family member, if it's my wife, if it's my children, if it's my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care.

You’re under the impression that laws still matter, contracts are sacred, and that there is still a civil contract between American governments and the people of America.
It is observable fact that none of the above continue to be true.
Obama is trying to imply he wants the best for his family so of course he would never deny it to your family.
Go ask the poor black families who he took the vouchers from even though the plan was funded for another year, because the Obama White House decided there was no point in letting them go to a good school for one year and then throwing them out.
While his kids sit in the best schools.
Obama will let you die while he gets the best care for life. Period.
...BTTT...
That's not the point, the point is he wouldn't even lie about it, he so frickin arrogant and positive the media will back him on this.
Thanks!
If it is anarchy that they sew, then it is anarchy that they will reap.
My wife is also a cancer survivor and both her and I are deathly afraid of Obamacare...people really need to realize that when you get sick with something like Cancer the need for routine scans is paramount in fighting the disease. People need to wake up and realize that this will not exist with socialized medicine and people WILL die.
Sorry to rant but this sh!t really burns my a$$
Oh! pissboy, pissboy, bring the bucket...
Let them eat cake.
Can you extend that feudal metaphor to include serfdom, the commons, social immobility?
“Obama will let you die while he gets the best care for life.”
Well, in his defense, health care WOULD be demonstrably less expensive if we let people die early. Perhaps this is Obama’s secret plan for eradicating the $104 trillion entitlements deficit! http://conoverc.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/119/
You are not ranting they are admitting they want to cut back on the use of certain “wasteful” and “unnecessary” drugs, surgeries and technologies. They are dangerous idiots. I thought at first my wife was overreacting a bit, she isn’t.
Shoot, the MSM will celebrate his generosity.
You'll struggle to find a politician who can get through the intentionally difficult election process without having been compromised well in advance.
This is not some mega-conspiracy. It is the nature of the beast. Those who run for politics are political. To be a successful politician involves compromise of positions, values, and morals. Populism is easiest, eventually, as government grows large enough to dole out significant goodies. Populism by its nature is manipulative. It thrives on clever lies and promises not kept.
It doesn't take much thinking or observation of human nature that just a little authority makes a man a dictator within that sphere of authority.
Government is political and politics is the practice of corruption. Hence, our wonderful God-graced Founders strove to give us a government that would remain small, thereby removing the interests of the powerful, wealthy and their pawns the egotistical (who go one to become politicians) from manipulating government and the Law to their personal benefit.
Sadly, Americans are compassionate to a fault, especially when they are spending just a little bit of someone else’s money.

The trouble didn't just start now, its been brewing for more than a century. The Devil is a powerful foe and men never learn an old lie works best: You can get something for nothing.
Almost on target, except that in Feudalism there were real expectations of responsibilities the nobles had to those in their service. Physical protection, access to means of production, grist and sawmills, access to religious duties and places.
Like I said in a previous post, go take a look at any Breast Cancer Survivor message board and look for posts from women in Canada describing their situation and the lack of care they receive under their nationalized plan...it’s heartbreaking and just sad.
Not being able to complain outwardly because their votes put this marxist BS in office, we should start seeing liberals spontaneously exploding any day now, right?
How can liberals who detest “fat-cat elitists” not see the hypocrisy here?
(I know...its symptomatic.)
How about simply "qualified" to be POTUS?
