STURM:My question to you is, outside the medical criteria for prolonging life for somebody elderly, is there any consideration that can be given for a certain spirit, a certain joy of living, quality of life? Or is it just a medical cutoff at a certain age?

GIBSON: But the money may not have been there for her pacemaker or for your grandmother's hip replacement.

OBAMA: But what we can do is make sure that at least some of the waste that exists in the system that's not making anybody's mom better, that is loading up on additional tests or additional drugs that the evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve care, that at least we can let doctors know and your mom know that, you know what? Maybe this isn't going to help. Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller.
And those kinds of decisions between doctors and patients, and making sure that our incentives are not preventing those good decision, and that -- that doctors and hospitals all are aligned for patient care, that's something we can achieve.

Well, Obama takes the narcissist view.
Babies are a punishment. Abort them. Grandmothers are a nuisance. Get rid of them. Mothers, too.
Christian, too, or white people. Why not help your cousin burn churches and kill women and children if it will get him into power so he can keep a close eye on your birth records and put your Kenyan family under house arrest?
Then you can go out on a date in Paris after stiffing Sarkozy, or get an ice cream with a clear conscience while Iranian girls are getting murdered by your Muslim pals, and nothing to worry about.
Is that a wart on your toe? Cut it off!
IIRC a few years ago the Ds were screaming that the Rs wanted to kill old people. Really stupid back then because the argument was not over care denial. Since care denial is a real, tangible future under ObamaCare, why isn’t some R with a backbone bringing this up?
Oh yeah ... Congressional backbones are rare.
But in the new Logan’s Run they will be trying to escape a Dick Cheney look alike and fighting “global warming”.
“Is she a Jew!”
Heute ist unsere Leute Juden. Alle Leute Americaniche.
(Today all our people are Jews. All American people.)
That is how government healthcare works.
Obamacare = Geriatric Genocide

Zero’s narcissism has probably prevented him from knowing people deeply enough to appreciate them.
Thank you for reminding me of the old people I have loved. Their friendship is is priceless.
With ANY attempt to pass health care reform should be the provision that all government employees (congress, the President, civil service, etc.) be covered under the national health care. NO EXCEPTIONS, NO ALTERNATIVES!
Result: no national health care
Apparantly he can’t think more than 2 steps ahead on any problem. This is clearly a sign of heavy use of narcotics.
And so are you! I’m worried about my parents. They are healthy and active, live in their own home, work part time jobs, travel to Texas in the winter and such. My dad is 80, mom is 76. When Obama was elected, my dad was sure ‘some’ democrats in congress still had the best interest of the country first. I hated to tell him I told him so, but I did. They are lifelong republicans. The elderly can not fathom what the liberals are doing to this country. They lived through FDR, but this is much worse.
And they compared Bush to Hitler!
Yes, Obama’s plan would take care of health care, Social Security and Medicare all in one.
It's disgusting. I feel physically ill every time I am exposed to the news.
I will keep trying to warn people but there is a part of me that will take great pleasure in seeing the idiots who voted for this mess suffer along with me and my loved ones.
They are working hard to ruin my life, with no apparent regret - even glee. So compared to that my mere schadenfreude is small potatoes.
Does anyone figure that when former President Obama (boy, do I love the sound of that expression) is in his old age, that this is the health plan he will be on?
The phrase that Obozofascists dare not speak: “Life unworthy of life” [
Be worth checking up on ~
What Obama said was typical Obama. Words that made his evil plan sound more palatable.
We have become a shameful nation. That we would elect someone who has no value for a life, young or old.
I hope the young realize that he will be controlling every aspect of their lives. Their only purpose is to work and pay taxes so that he and his elitist scum can enjoy the fruits of their labor and the bounty of the world.
The man Obama has no sense of family, his was trash, and so is he.
Lord LOVE you!
You are both blessed!
