What. A. Joke.

This is the biggest problem I have with socializing healthcare, avg. middle class people will be the ones who are screwed over, rich people like Obama won't pay the consequences of their actions.

President Obama struggled to explain today whether his health care reform proposals would force normal Americans to make sacrifices that wealthier, more powerful people — like the president himself — wouldn’t face.

…Dr. Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist and researcher at the New York University Langone Medical Center, said that elites often propose health care solutions that limit options for the general public, secure in the knowledge that if they or their loves ones get sick they will be able to afford the best care available, even if it’s not provided by insurance.

Devinsky asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldn’t seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan he’s proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get.

The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that if “it’s my family member, if it’s my wife, if it’s my children, if it’s my grandmother I always want them to get the very best care.”

From Obama's infomercial last night. Didn't see it the blatant commercial for the special event made me want to gag, didn't want to ruin the carpet more.

If it's not good enough for the Obama family, it shouldn't be good enough for anyone else in America.
