S/F that is pure BS. That is worst thing i have ever heard a president say. Horrible, horrible, horrible. I cannot even describe how bad that is..
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."
