Gee, I should tell my 45 year old friend who had acute renal failure (due to Chronic alcoholism/dehydration) that Medicaire really DIDN’T pick up the tab for folks on dialysis.

In the past 5 years, the gubmint has spent around a half million on her.

Full Disability, Medicaid and Medicare.

Now, how good is it over there, compared to here

How did she afford a trip to Great Britain? Does she live in Kenya or Great Britain? Was she on a vacation? It doesn’t really say.

How did she get the hip replacement? There’s a long waiting list for a hip replacement in Great Britain. Something is fishy here.

Who is this woman and what was she doing in Great Britian?

If it wasn't for the NHS I wouldn't have been alive to see our family's greatest moment

It's probably true. Because her rich, power-drunken socialist stepson wouldn't have given her a dime to help out.

“Living like a dependent child seems to be the obama family way.”

Close to the truth. Obama does seem to have lots of relatives with hands out around the globe, an illegal aunt living here, a down and out brother? cousin? in Kenya, granny without running water elsewhere. And now Obama and family living at taxpayer expense in the WH.

On the story, the British press is part of this cr*p, participating in the big sell to cram it down our throats.

The answer depends on how many “fathers” he has. Given his trampish mother, who knows how many Maury Povich-like “might be the father” candidates there are.

I can just see it now!!!

Obama gets his Hell Care passed & all his relatives in Kenya start packing their bags & moving here!

He's for illegal immigration, too - so when the rest of the 'I want my share' people move here, we can just call ourselves The United World!!

That will solve the New World Order problem at the same time!

Counterpoint: as she is related to Obama, she would be the first in line no matter what her age is. That is the Kennedy Super Rule taking priority of Dr. Zeke's chart of life or death.

Doctors and nurses saved Kezia Obama during a visit to Britain seven years ago, when she suffered chronic kidney failure.

If it was chronic, how did she just happen to be visiting Britain when it happened. Any bets on a known, preexisting condition for which she flew from (presumably) Kenya to Britain for free treatment?

Also, doesn't she have a millionaire stepson in the US who could have picked up her bill if she had been here?

Are you kidding!! He could have picked up the bill!! He already has an illegal Aunt that lives here in the USA on welfare...I don't see him picking up HER bill

Yep! I was gonna say: her heartless greedy stepson certainly wouldn't have picked up the tab, that's for sure. Just ask his impoverished aunt who's required to live hand-to-mouth, dependent totally on the kindness of strange taxpayers who are compelled to help her through their compulsory gifts to their government.

And who knows the cold-hearted skinflint Barack Obama better than his own damn family?

Stepmom knew very well she had a much better chance of sticking the anonymous overburdened taxpayers in the UK with her bill because they haven't the freedom to decline to pay for her care the way her selfish amoral millionaire stepson clearly does, the same man who routinely jetted off to five star resorts in the islands to escape his mansion in Chicago & left the burden of providing care for her, his homeless aunt and his hovel-bound half-brother, to others who are struggling to care for their own families while he whoops it up on his monthly luxury vacations.

This guy has more “family” than a Mafia don.

Indeed. Yet curiously, he seems to be the only "natural born American citizen" among them.

Well, Cristina's stepFather (me) owes his life to American doctors; they saved me after I suffered a cerebral hemorrage in 2001. These are usually fatal, but thanks to the ingenuity of AMERICAN HEALTH CARE, I escaped with only a slight loss of upper periphreal vison.

This doctor did not do the usual "spinal tap" or drill a hole in my head to drain the fluid to contain the swelling of the brain, instead, he tried STERIODS. They worked, the shrinking went down and I finally fully recovered (after about 6 months) with the "pie-in-the-sky" vision loss.

And, I consider Cristina's stepFather (me) just as important and influential as Kapitan Kenya's stepMother.

With his record, I think I'd leave my family out of it...they seem to be more of a detriment than they are an advantage for him.

"The 66-year-old, who now lives in Bracknell, Berkshire, said she would never have been able to afford healthcare if she had been in America at the time."

Oh hell, you could have just done like all the other Obama relatives, and lived off the fat of the taxpayers.

I’ll bet she would have gotten top treatment at County USC in Los Angeles, for example. Since the illegals are getting good care when they need it, why wouldn’t she have been able to get it, as well?
