Obama Refuses to Limit His Family to Public Health Care

Submitted by T D Williams on Thu, 06/25/2009 - 19:55

 

As with choice of school for his daughters, President Obama has ceded the point that public health care would not do for his own family in time of need.

On moving to Washington, D.C., the Obamas chose an exclusive private school ($28,000 - $30,000 tuition per child) rather than the public school system for their daughters. The public schools in D.C. lack quality for even normal family needs, let alone high level family needs.

When asked about public health care, President Obama refused to commit to only using public health care resources for his own family and said he wanted "the very best care" for his family.

"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.'"

Billy Mays Death....

Submitted by ArmanA on Thu, 07/02/2009 - 05:57.

A lot of people are interested in what Billy Mays cause of death was.  According to preliminary reports, what Billy Mays cause of death was heart disease, specifically hypertensive heart disease.  Hypertension, or high blood pressure, appears to have been the cause and it appears that any minor head trauma he might have suffered as a result of the plane incident he was involved with had nothing to do with it.  He had just returned from shooting an OxyClean commercial, the product which got many to shell out fast cash and catapulted the pitchman to national attention.  Many got payday loans for his products, and would like to know what the Billy Mays cause of death was for sure.
