  • Obama ready to sacrifice 2nd term for healthcare

    This one is so good I had to start a new thread:

    Yes, this is from August, but I suspect it still holds true since the Socialists have been dreaming of this moment for 60 years.



    In a bid to stiffen the resolve of wavering congressional Democrats, President Barack Obama boasted that he will put his reelection on the line if that is what it takes to get a bill passed and not “cower from confrontation like a former occupant of this office did when faced with similar opposition.”

    In related news, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif) warned Republican members of congress that trying to stop the health care bill would be “a serious mistake.” “We have the votes to pass it without any Republican support,” he reminded. “We can write the bill anyway we want.” Waxman’s remarks are believed to refer to a provision that would strip those who vote “no” of their special congressional health care insurance and force them into the “public option” insurance category that would be established under the proposed legislation.

    “Using past cost overruns in Medicare and Medicaid as a forecast for my reform is misleading,” Obama declared. “My bill has provisions that will prevent irresponsible spending.”

    “First, my reform will ensure that any woman who wants an abortion will get an abortion,” Obama pointed out. “This simple procedure will save the government a lifetime of medical expenses that would otherwise be incurred tending to the needs of these unwanted children.”

    “Second, my reform calls for careful cost-benefit analysis that will avoid expenditures on low-yield outcomes,” he continued. “Statistics show that the majority of medical spending occurs in the last few years of people’s lives. This only prolongs the agony of the feeble. It would be more prudent and merciful to cull these individuals from the herd by implementing a well-funded and robust ‘end-of-life’ counseling program.”

    “Third, my reform will cut spending on unnecessary frills,” Obama said. One of the “frills” targeted for reduced spending is anesthesia. The idea is that it will make surgeons work faster—saving both on the lower expenses for anesthesia and fewer physicians’ hours that have to be compensated.

    No editorials are required for these gems. They stand alone in their laughable arrogance and outright stupidity.

    Unnecessary frills...like anesthesia :shock:

      Holy freaking cow. Are those quotes accurate?

      Abortions are great because it will save the government money? (Asinine on multiple levels. I guess fewer taxpayers are a good thing in bizarro world.)

      And people wondered where "death panels" came from?

      Oh, yes. Surgeons working faster will be sooooo much better. Nevermind the increased mistakes. If those mistakes are bad enough the patient will die and save the government even more money!

      Progressives are creating a culture of death. I'd rather be uninsured than get care in a system with tenets such as these.

      (Sorry for the obviously unnecessary editorial.)
