“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.

“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.

“I would have paid out of pocket for that hip replacement just because she’s my grandmother.”

It's illegal in Canada.

3 immediate thoughts

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.

My dentist was given 9 months to live with colon cancer. TERMINAL.

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.

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?

Hell, he won't even send $1 per month to help his brother in Kenya live in his hut.

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.

I question the election of terminally stupid people to the U.S. Presidency.

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.....

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

Ahh...so that’s why they wanted to take over GM. All those unused auto plants will make fine mass producing crematoriums. Obama will make Auschwitz look like Disney Land.

I look at this as what would I want my family to do if there were no insurance or gov’t payments. If I was terminal, or getting real close to the end of my years, I would not spend my own money on certain things. I would rather leave what I have to my family and face the end with dignity, and not spending money like crazy to wring an extra year or so out of life.

The questions are, IMHO, how much quality time do I have left, how much do I have spend, and what is it I am going to get for my money.

parsy, who is officially a senior citizen now at least according to AARP.

This is already happening and it should be possible to parade a whole host of the elderly before the cameras, telling how Medicare said NO to their operation.

For example, a neighbor was injured in a domestic violence situation, had her rotator cuff damaged. She was told she was too old to have an operation to fix it. Now I can understand not having a blank check to fix every little thing and even some big things depending on the circumstances. But here's the thing:

Obamacare will drive out the private option. Remember Hillarycare, where it would be illegal for a doctor to perform the operation for private money? Well, look for that concept in the bill. Yep. So even Obama's example is flawed because he is taking away the option for you to pay for it on your own.

When it’s MY grandmother, it’s none of YOUR business, Mr. Obama.

Not your money. Not your concern.

Pay attention, now, and read my lips... BUTT. OUT.
