Why Obama Does Not Care About Granny’s Health Needs

By John Lillpop Friday, June 26, 2009

During President Obama’s health care show and tell on ABC, he tried desperately to make a logical and yet compassionate argument for encouraging old grandmas in frail health to simply die and reduce the excess population.

According to Obama, it is far better for the old gal to move on to the next dimension without delay, rather than wasting taxpayer money on withered old bodies and minds that no longer contribute positively to the common good.

Obamacare would apparently rely on a detailed called cost benefit analysis to determine whether granny should get that pacemaker or be sized for an inexpensive casket and funeral right now.

With the US government calling the shots, granny does not stand much of a chance.

To begin with, she no longer generates an income that can be taxed. Even worse, she draws a monthly social security check and uses Medicare services that cost the government a pretty penny every month.

All things considered, grandma is a net drain on the economy, despite all of that wisdom and love that still makes her a national treasure.

Do not expect a liberal bail out for granny.

Mind you, empathy is a prerequisite when it comes to Supreme Court nominees, but is extraneous and unnecessary when it comes to caring for the old.

We simply can no longer afford to indulge our affection and love for those whom gave us life, raised and cared for us, and passed on the values that has made America the greatest nation in human history.

How did it come to this? Why is the Obama generation so callous and disrespectful toward those in their golden years?

The answer: Follow the money and the votes.

According to Obamacare, granny is a toxic asset and one that should be moved off the government books as soon as possible in order to fund health care and other public services for 12-38 million illegal aliens who are seen as future Democrats.

Every dollar spent on a hearing aid for your 72-year-old grandma is one less dollar that Obama can spend on a family of illegal aliens who can be counted on to work and pay taxes for decades.

And if things turn out as planned, those families will vote straight Democrat for decades, thereby guaranteeing a liberal monopoly on government for generations.

But what of society’s moral responsibility to seniors who also happen to be American citizens?

Moral responsibility is not a tangible element in the cost-benefit analysis model for Obamacare and must, therefore, be ignored.

Welcome to Obamacare.

Please leave your heart and mind behind--they have no place in a world dominated by YOUTH AND CHANGE.

Yes, but don't forget Obama also suggested even if we don't spend the money for grandma's surgery, we CAN give her a pain pill.

(He literally made such a comment. I was rather surprised, because he said it so explicitly. Wondered if anyone else noticed it. I'll see if ABC has a transcript yet, and find the quote.)

Yet at the ABC informercial he said this.... This plan will be okay for the likes of us and our beloved grandmothers -but not for his family. Geesch...




EXCLUSIVE: President Obama Defends Right to Choose Best Care
In ABC News Health Care Forum, President Answers Questions About Reform

President Obama struggled to explain today whether his health care reform proposals would force normal Americans to make sacrifices that wealthier, more powerful people -- like the president himself -- wouldn't face.

The probing questions came from two skeptical neurologists during ABC News' special on health care reform, "Questions for the President: Prescription for America," anchored from the White House by Diane Sawyer and Charles Gibson.

Dr. Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist and researcher at the New York University Langone Medical Center, said that elites often propose health care solutions that limit options for the general public, secure in the knowledge that if they or their loves ones get sick, they will be able to afford the best care available, even if it's not provided by insurance.

Devinsky asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldn't seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan he's proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get.

The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that if "it's my family member, if it's my wife, if it's my children, if it's my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care.

so THIS is the kind of change that we were promised? There is a reason that people from all over the world come here to the US for the best medical care. its because they cant get it in their own country.a comment i saw the other day from canada asked "if the US does this, where will i go. the US has better health care than we do in Canada." Now that says something and canada has the same kinda of health care system that the elected people in DC have. Did you notice that the Congress and the presidential staff would be excluded from this health care they want to FORCE on us ordinary people..... Can you imagine if Senator Kennedy, who has brain cancer, and suffered a seizure a few months ago was in this system and they gave him pain pills and said go home your too old for us to do anything with?????
