Do Americans want a federal board deciding if their kids need surgery?
Those greedy doctors. “You come in and you’ve got a bad sore throat, or your child has a bad sore throat or has repeated sore throats,” President Obama explained at Wednesday’s press conference. “The doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, ‘You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid’s tonsils out.’”
If that’s what he really thinks is wrong with U.S. health care—and with the medical profession—then ObamaCare is going to be even worse than we thought. The point Mr. Obama oversimplified is that the way the U.S. pays for medical services can encourage some physicians to prescribe unnecessary tests or treatments, especially in Medicare. But his implication is that doctors aren’t acting in the best interests of their patients in order, basically, to rob them.

They don't take your tonsils out anymore for sore or strep throats. They have since discovered, YEARS AGO, that tonsils are a line of defense and need to REMAIN right where they are. Obama is an IDIOT.
But wait..... If medical procedures like abortion are private matters between a woman and her doctor why isn’t a tonsillectomy?
The idea that this guy is brilliant continues to be lost on me.
Ah, when it comes to abortion - can’t have enough of them!
No sir! Taxpayers need to FUND them. Just think - less “carbon footprints” and “save the earth” and all that rot.

You can have an abortion at ANY time for ANY reason. Abortions are CASH COWS for the unscrupulous doctors and interns out there. They make ALLOT of $$$ off them. Need I mention how they SCARE about to be Moms into aborting babies due to real or imaginary problems with the unborn baby? They constantly do that.
I’ve occasionally encountered specialists inclined to act this way. IMO it is not so much greed as the old adage about if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. In my case, no I did not want a chip drilled out of my skull without further proof that it was going to resolve the problem, which was ultimately addressed by noninvasive means.
What frightens me is that many think he is “brilliant”.
His “oratory skills” leave me less than impressed as well ... . He sounds like a used car salesman that is a street thug in his off time dealing drugs around the corner. Obama is truly a disgrace. The best we can hope for is a lame duck President.
END STAGE RENAL (KIDNEY DISEASE) AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFIES EVERY CITIZEN TO AUTOMATIC COVERAGE UNDER MEDICARE, REGARDLESS OF AGE!!!!
Yet, our idiot of a President trots out someone with kidney trouble and claims, somehow, that the current health care system has failed her?
Can anyone believe this guy is the president?They said bush was stupid.The bamster is not much more than a street thug in a nice suit.
I’m 51 and I still have mine. My doctor told my mom the same thing way back when.
More to the point:
A primary care MD, like a Pediatrician, does not do surgery!
Surgeons do surgery!!
Was this reported in the MSM Obama cover up press.
I fail to see any brilliance either, not now, not ever.
Obama claims the pediatricians are becoming super-rich performing tonsillectomies.

What is really so sad about this is that many of the loving parents of today will really think the government is better able to decide what their children need than their doctor and themselves. The result of the liberal education system that has indoctrinated them to believe the government is the answer to all their needs and their problems.
Same here. I'm also in my 50’s. I would constantly get strp throats. My parents would not allow them to remove them. Later it turned out you NEED them.
