“I don’t know how much that hip replacement cost,” Obama said in the interview. “I would have paid out of pocket for that hip replacement just because she’s my grandmother.”
Obama said “you just get into some very difficult moral issues” when considering whether “to give my grandmother, or everybody else’s aging grandparents or parents, a hip replacement when they’re terminally ill.
“That’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues,” he said in the April 14 interview. “The chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health- care bill out here.”

“The chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health- care bill out here.”
This can’t be true.
Democrats= Death Party
“That’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues,” he said in the April 14 interview.
Liberals have no moral issues, that’s the whole problem.
It's illegal in Canada.
1. he would pay for his grandmother with SAUDI money. He has never paid for anything out of his own pocket.
2. the taxpayers are supporting his illegal alien aunt who lives in Boston.. not the obamanation.
3. he received and continues to receive millions from Soros, the Saudis and other muslim groups....
Remember Terri Schivo? The only ones wishing for her death were leftists. The dems. Snake lawyers. Larry King.
The left WANTS the elderly to die. They are so compassionate: “just give them a pain pill”
The left believes in nothing, is nothing, has nothing, hopes for nothing. For them, death is something nice.

That was 7 years ago.
Obama and his guru Dr. Ezekiel Mengele would have CUT HIM OFF from further care.
I'm sure we all know someone with a similar story. Don't let ObamaCare kill them. Tell all your friends.
In other words, he would’ve given his grandmother a pain pill and sent her home. Apparently, she wasn’t worth the cost of the hip replacement.
What a jerk!
Certainly this is satire.
I’m beginning to think the whole nationalizing of healthcare is a distraction. He can’t possibly think people won’t pick up on this, can he?
Has he ever paid out of his pocket for anything in his life?
Has he ever helped a relative to better their life?
Sounds like he advocating rationing care to me
The left doesn’t believe in the sanctity of human life, except for their own.
I could easily believe that the elderly account for 80% of the healthcare bill — it makes perfect sense. By time you’re old your body requires more medical care. Young, healthy people do not need medical care of any description. That would surely account for the bulk of the population.
I’m surprised that presents a moral issue to your president. It should instead be bloody obvious.
Hip replacement to the terminally ill? Why not? They tend to also be elderly and to need it most. A new hip can add many years — a decade or more — to someone’s life expectancy. It can certainly enhance the quality of what life a terminally ill patient might have.
I’m stunned your president finds that a moral issue to be struggled with.
The more I read of your president the more he creeps me out.
They would have offered him a suicide pill up there in Oregon I guess.
I question the election of terminally stupid people to the U.S. Presidency.

Ya Obama!....It’s not like giving sex change operations to prisoners is it?
