I’d like to know the name of doctor that approved this treatment protocol for a frail, 86 year old women.

Us mere plebes would have been told by our insurance companies and Medicare that such treatments for those of us over 80 are useless, and a waste of resources.

WHY was an exception made for her???

Remember Obama's answer to Jane Sturm about her 100-year-old grandmother's need for a pacemaker?

"Look, the first thing for all of us to understand that is we actually have some -- some choices to make about how we want to deal with our own end-of-life care," Mr. Obama replied. After discussing ways "we as a culture and as a society [can start] to make better decisions within our own families and for ourselves," he continued that in general "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."
What would Obama say about Ginsburg's care choices?

...oh, and something about at a certain point you've got a large enough house.

He obviously doesn't apply the rules to his own side.

She was made an exception because she holds power.
