Obama Wants to Let Those Pesky Geezers Die
President 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.
In a nationally televised event at the White House, Obama said families need better information so they don't unthinkingly approve "additional tests or additional drugs that the evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve care."
He added: "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller."

So, if you are a geezer and possibly even a pesky geezer are you ready for Obama care? If yes, prepare to die sooner versus later - but, at least it will be pain free (until those meds are also eliminated).
Eliminating end of life care, I suppose, is cost-effective. Just doesn't seem like a fully human way to go. |
