Medical decisions should be made by patients, their families, and their doctors, not by government bureaucrats, ObamaCare

Obama Wants to Let Those Pesky Geezers Die

By Matthew Vadum Thursday, June 25, 2009

In a rare moment of candor, President Obama explained to an audience how government-run healthcare would work in America.

According to the Los Angeles Times:

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.â€

This is horrible. I wonder how Michelle would feel if her Mother fell and broke her hip, I bet she would get the best of health care.
