In a rare moment of candor, President Obama explained to an audience how government-run healthcare would work in America....Obama suggested at a town hall event Wednesday night that one way to shave medical costs is to stop expensive and ultimately futile procedures performed on people who are about to die and don't stand to gain from the extra care.

As a pesky geezer. I’m not ready to die.
Would this be used on anyone involved in a bad accident?
you mean the grandmother he threw under the bus?
He does not care about your parents (the old geizers) but he does want their money.
They have proposed 50% inheritance tax to pay for National Health Care.
The Obamanista’s are Traitors, Theives, Liars, Commies and worse.
Scum of the Earth.
Being a proud member of Geezer-R-Us, I resent the idea that the Inheritance Tax revenue is driving this, I think...they want those old-timers to go so the revenue stream can be used to offset the Trillions they need to insure drug addicts, welfare recipients, illegal squatters, and the homeless......they probably already have counted how much they can gain in Death Tax dollars in their calculations of Baby Boomer estates.....
DITTO
What are you gonna do? Not everbody can afford a Bentley. Those that can afford it should have the opportunity to pay for it.
This should not surprise anyone - Obama did not want a doctor to be “burdened” with having to assess and give medical aid to a infant born after an abortion procedure.
A kicking and struggling infant may just have a long life if given care and an adoptive family - but even then Obama wanted the infant to be put in a linen closet or out of sight till the infant expired.
The Obama healthcare program = the It’s-Cheaper-If-You-Die Plan
Obama didn't want the mother to be burdened with having to abandon a baby that she never wanted. of course fathers have no say in whether they are obligated to that baby for the next 18 years after pregnancy occurs. It's a given that they are and the State comes down on the citizenry to prohibit all men from obtaining driver's licenses, etc. without proving they are not deadbeat dads.
You mean like Teddy? Oh, sorry. He’s TOO IMPORTANT to die!
That grandmother probably expired under a pillow.
Let 'em die by the side of the road.
I’ve been hearing about getting in accidents as part of healthcare. But wouldn’t that come under a different insurance plan, such as your car insurance, or if it was the fault of another, their insurance plan?
If you get sick, make an appointment. You won't get to see your doctor in a timely manner.
Outcomes:
- You die. Money is saved. Problem has resolved itself.
- OR you don't die...
--- You eventually get better. Wait it out and recovery may come.
--- OR you eventually seek out an alternative home remedy.
--- OR you eventually accept your new condition as a reality of "getting older" and count your blessings.
--- OR you go to another country for a medical vacation and pay for it yourself.
Some of us have been saying for a long time that health care "reform" is actually a way to cut the cost of Social Security.
Seriously ill elderly have a duty to die and get out of the way said Democrat Richard Lamm years ago.
Also, I believe Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) puppet master, Soros, wants emphasis on palliative care having raised a ruckus with his original emphasis on euthanasia
I’ll say it again
ObamaCare = RAID for Seniors.
Above his paygrade my furry yellow butt. That is an old military phrase as in E5 or 03. He is the commander in chief. If he is going to force us to have cubacare, just imagine how bad the VA is going to get. I would imagine that there will be a bunch of private enterprise doctors that start making house calls for cash again. If I was a doc, I would.
The sad truth is that if this comes to pass, the only thing that won’t be rationed will be abortion. That will be available 24/7/365.
Yep...they'll need to kill 'em a little faster to keep up with the healthcare demand.
Liberals think rationed health care and euthanasia of the sick and old is funny.
So did Hitler.
Better keep an eye on those life insurance policies. Talk about a raid.
(0=cold, calculating SOAW)
* The scientific dishonesty of Global Warming The compassion of an IRS agent
* The lines of the US Postal Service or DMV
* The fiscal responsibility of the Pentagon who brought us $500 hammers and $1,000 toilet seats
* The lobbying of the wives of like Senators Daschle and Dodd
* Expansion of staff for Senators and Congressman to handle health care disputes
...and this....
The New Stasi (formerly known as ACORN) guards a geriatric clinic. Elderly shooed away told to 'Do us all a favor and go home and die'. 
Therefore....let’s get rid of speed limits, safety belt and helmet laws, car seats for kids, bans on smoking and all that other stuff. They are in a contradiction and need to decide if they want us alive or not. Maybe they want workers and potential workers alive. Wish everybody would go on strike or something
Translation, Obama wants to ensure that those that voted against him aren't around in 2012.
Would this be used on anyone involved in a bad accident?
I envicion this standard being used on anyone who has become drain on ovt coffers, as opposed to contributing to govt coffers.
Gangbangers should take note, no more free ER patch ups, possibly only positive to whole scenario
Ding, ding, ding...
We have a winner! (Kudos to the astute posters here!)
The ‘public plan’ is just a way to perpetuate the ponzi scheme known as ‘Medicare’. Every good ponzi scheme needs more rubes...er.ah...victims...er.ah...clients. (Yeah, that’s the ticket!)
Except that would be illegal under the universal health care act.
Yes but insurance cost is insurance cost no mater where it starts and they will want control of all of it in the end!!
bump for later read
Will they just list cause of death as “Death by Obama”?
Well, Seniors should be scared - but most don’t know enough to raise a fuss. AARP has been co-opted, so many follow like the good little sheep they are.
If Congress was forced to use the same health care system they are pushing - it would never get out of the gate.
The people that are sucking out the GOVT coffers and putting nothing in should be weaned off the GOVT by having to go for education , work to continue to receive any backing.
Many doctors will say “So what?” and do it under the table.
As for myself, and being a geezer, I think at some point accepting useless medical care is squandering my children's future. It seems illogical to yell about the deficits we are leaving our children but at the same time demand every last dime out of the health care system..
“Obama Wants to Let Those Pesky Geezers Die”

In both his news conference and infomercial, the President almost taunted private insurers abIout “competing” with his proposed “public option”. As a by-product of the Chicago Machine, “competition” to him may mean something different than what most of us would assume, like the same rules, a level playing field, things like that. Has anyone heard about eliminating the barriers private companies have for interstate sales? Mandates? Of course not.In the private sector, premiums are a function of: Risk; the cost of actual previous experience; administrative expenses; taxes; profit (he hates that word) margin and RESERVES FOR FUTURE CLAIMS,(the reserves for VA,zero;Medicaid,zero; Medicare,$31trillion UNFUNDED liability). Private insurer costs are offset by investment earnings that a “public option” won’t have. What replaces not only the investment earnings but lost investment capital for the economy? Isn’t it clear Obama wants to control both risk and capital,the 2 primary elemnts of a market economy? An unlevel playing field tilts the “game” Chicago Machine style to the “public option” and will lead, through “competition” to the desired goal, a single payor system. To paraphrase Alinsky: the organizer must have sight of the long term goal, but must work towards and appreciate UNCHANGABLE incremental successes. Go Comrade Go.
yes, and if you have a spinal cord injury you end up as fish food
Do you think any of the old Jews in Florida will somehow realize they signed their own death warrants when they voted for this clown?
If you cease being pesky, you’ll be ok. lol
