Barack Obama's health care plan is now coming into focus. He wants to limit (ration) health care to certain segments as a means of trimming costs:

Pull the plug sooner. That should save a boatload on health care costs, according to Barack Obama.

The Los Angeles Times reports:

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."



Get ready to die at the whim of Barack Obama, America!

If I have a private health care and pay my fees then I will go see the doctor any time I feel out of my butt to see it.

That is why I have a private insurance.

Why do I have to be forced to pay with my taxes for health care so you or somebody else can have it free.

Nobody is paying for mine.

See the point, then you will gladly allow the bureaucracy to chose if you live or die?

Hum, something is not right here.

Ironically, the Kennedy-Dodd bill specifically exempts the Congress from participating in this new 'system'. They, of course, will continue to enjoy superior health care.

Oh yeah, Im the same way. I had health coverage at work for about 6 months, then someone decided the economy was bad all over the world so that was the first to go, among many other things.

I pay through the nose for my BCBS "Plan", but i havent stepped foot inside a doctors office for years. a few of my friends have been run through the system and have found out the hard way that something like a broken arm can EASILY cost more than three grand with no coverage.

I think any HMO plan that includes body modifications such as UNNEEDED plastic surgery should be re evaluated.

I hate to even bring it up, but the majority of all your collected taxes goes to others. Healthcare is only a fraction of the pie.

whos to say who is truly in need? Well im not going to touch that one with a ten foot pole....

Plastic surgery or "selected surgery" is not covered by most major insurance companies unless is related to life issues as Obesity.

I don't believe that politics should play a role on how people are to be receiving their medical care in this nation.

As usual the "royalty" in the nation is exempt from the suffering of the populace and commoners.

Isn't that the way that it has been for decades?
