ANNANDALE, Va. (AP) - President Barack Obama hugged a woman who told him at a town hall meeting she has cancer but no way to pay her expenses. Obama said the woman, identified as "Debbie," is a "perfect example" of someone who has gotten caught up and is lost in a broken health care system. He said "she's not getting the best care" and called her "Exhibit A" in the case he's trying to make for a new system.

Is that the same guy who said,

“additional tests or additional drugs that the evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve care.”

He added: “Maybe you’re better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller (and die you f***er).”

So the solution to this ONE patient’s problem is to destroy the health system for everyone else?

Obama probably believes that “Doctor Yakub” created the white race too. Seriously, people...

Under the new system she’ll be encouraged to commit suicide.

Dear Debbie,

Be a patriot. Think of others. Try painkillers instead of surgery. Your chances don’t make it economically sensible to pay for radical treatment when we have so many middle class 26 yr old children to cover with our national health plan.

signed,

papa obama

"Obama said the woman, identified as "Debbie," is a "perfect example" of someone who has gotten caught up and is lost in a broken health care system. "

Did he offer to put her on his family's plan?

“Don’t worry dear, under my plan your PET scan would not have been authorized, so you wouldn’t even know that you have cancer.”
“Wouldn’t that be better than all of this worrying about unaffordable treatement and your future?”

Step one : obamie has a plant at a townhall meeting explaining her plight.

Step two; obamie does nothing but offer his condolences.

Step three; A Republican steps up to correct the poor person's suffering.

Step four: The poor person is shown to be a fraud.

Step five: The Republican is ridiculed for falling for the scam.

At a cancer hospital I was told by people in the finance department that those without insurance are in a better situation than I am even though i have insurance. More doors are open for them to get money.
