Obama Against Spirit

He wants to have rules replace personal decisions and freedom in healthcare.

Check out this disturbing transcript where he tried to peddle his healthcare policy on ABC:

Obama: "I don't think that we can make judgments based on people's 'spirit.' Uh, that would be, uh, a pretty subjective decision to be making. I think we have to have rules that, uh, say that, uh, we are going to provide good quality care for all people. End-of-life care is one of the most difficult sets of decisions that we're going to have to make. But understand that those decisions are already being made in one way or another. If they're not being made under Medicare and Medicaid, they're being made by private insurers. At least we can let doctors know -- and your mom know -- that you know what, maybe this isn't going to help. Maybe you're better off, uhh, not having the surgery, but, uhh, taking the painkiller."


Rush responds:

Do you realize how cold and heartless that answer is? This woman is asking about her mother. And everywhere she went, except one doctor, refused to put in the pacemaker. "Nah, she's too old; she's going to die anyway."


So basically Obama is saying the government should be making decisions about how much treatment and what level of quality you're going to get. He's admitting he will tell old, dying people to take painkillers instead of having surgery.

Obamacare means replacing human decision makers with cold, heartless rules.
