“I don’t know how much that hip replacement cost,” Obama said in the interview. “I would have paid out of pocket for that hip replacement just because she’s my grandmother.” Obama said, “You just get into some very difficult moral issues when considering whether to give my grandmother, or everybody else’s aging grandparents or parents, a hip replacement when they’re terminally ill. That’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues.”
So by his own thinking, and now admission, had it been left to a public option or single-payer Government-run plan, there is a strong possibility she would have been denied coverage for her hip replacement because of her pre-existing condition.
But wasn't that one of the massively huge problems his public option plan was supposed to prevent?
So is everyone else's granny supposed to die in misery with a crumbling, dysfunctional hip, just because they are sick with something else?
Is this the utopia that Obama's health care plan is supposed to usher in?
