During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama often discussed his mother's struggle with cancer. Ann Dunham spent the months before her death in 1995, Obama said, fighting with insurance companies that sought to deny her the coverage she needed to pay for treatment.
"I remember in the last month of her life, she wasn't thinking about how to get well, she wasn't thinking about coming to terms with her own mortality, she was thinking about whether or not insurance was going to cover the medical bills and whether our family would be bankrupt as a consequence," Obama said in September 2007.
"She was in her hospital room looking at insurance forms because the insurance company said that maybe she had a pre-existing condition and maybe they wouldn't have to reimburse her for her medical bills," Obama added in January 2008.
"The insurance companies were saying, 'Maybe there's a pre-existing condition and we don't have to pay your medical bills,' " Obama said in a debate with Republican opponent Sen. John McCain in October 2008.

He knows he was never legally responsible for his mother’s bills.
He was lying and using his dead mother’s cancer and evil insurance companies to play on people’s sympathies, so that they would identify with him. So many people are so ignorant about how insurance works that he knew he could get away with it. How many people out there actually believe that when their mother dies they will have to pay all of those hospital bills? Are they frightened into believing that this this will happen to them, like they wrongfully believe it did to Obama, and thus they support Obamacare?
There’s an old sea story about a ship’s Captain who inspected
his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad.
The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors
would change underwear occasionally.
The first mate responded, “Aye, aye sir, I’ll see to it immediately!”
The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, “The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear.”
He continued, “Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowski, and Brown, you change with
Schultz.”
THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
Someone may come along and promise “Change”,
but don’t count on things smelling any better.

black trash
As I see it, the woman died because she chose to rely on a doctor in a country outside the U.S. Does anyone know whether Indonesia has socialized medicine? If so, an intelligent person might consider that it is that government-controlled health care that killed her.
But whoever said this president was intelligent?
Fresh doubt should be cast over anything having to do with Barry Zero - period.
Assault Weapons HE gave to Narco Terrorists, have MURDERED many many Mexican and a few Americans also!
Barack has a gift doncha know? His gift is the ability to make up stories to play to the particular audience in his presence. During the Campaign, those audiences were made up of his prime constituencies, Bigots and Morons.
Well the MSM had important things to investigate in 2008, like the status of Joe the plumber Wurzelbacher’s trade license.
Even his intellect is in question with his 58 states’ gaffes...
Worse was the repeated - REPEATED - ignorant, unlettered “corpse-man” pronunciation of corpsman. Utter fake.
So he told a big lie about his dead mother. I would say he reached a new low. But then I would be lying.

I must have missed that part of the “story”.
Again. Dunham protested the (disability) decision and, Scott writes, "informed CIGNA that she was turning over the case to 'my son and attorney, Barack Obama.' " CIGNA did not budge.
I'd wager Barry didn't lift a finger to help.
Everything about this wicked fraud is phoney.
“...and 2 or 3 yet to go...” LOL
Correctly worded, it should have read, his speech was pure unadulterated BS - one that his propaganda machine media either never bothered to check OR let slide, because ANYTHING their master told/tells them is okay with them.
worked in Jakarta until 1992 when she changed jobs. Changed jobs in 1994 again, aware she had a medical issue (likely also insurance companies) and later that year refuses treatment in the USA after disclosing illness (boss said airfare would have been covered) . Returns to USA in Jan 1995, hospital bills insurance directly, leaving Dunham to pay “several hundred dollars a month” in uncovered/deductible expenses. Dunham insists that she be reimbursed for ‘living expenses’ as well as the uncovered expenses.
The question comes to mind immediately: why didn’t Dunham just apply for state welfare disability as indigent? did she actually have a nest egg she didn’t want to disclose to welfare? or was she ineligible for other reasons, such as failure to report income (file a tax return) for any of the preceding 10 years? which would have made her ineligible for federal disability insurance? What type of treatment/income would she have received in Jakarta? Why was she worried about ‘living expenses’ if ‘her son, the attorney’ was, at that time, comfortably employed, as was her mother and father?
there’s still something fishy about this story
Always act in the most outrageous fashion possible. Make absolutely preposterous statements. Your actions should always be so incredibly profane as to come completely unexpected and no reasonable thinking person would dare question your actions for fear of being any less enlightened than you.
This act is so old but Obama believes he’s “putting one over on us”
He’s just not real smart.
