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.
