Mr. President:
Recent experience with my wife's medical care show the lack of knowledge, on your part, concerning medical testing. In the first instance she had fractured her right shoulder. X-rays taken at the Chester River Hospital showed the fracture and indicated it would heal normally. However, extreme pain persisted and we went to John's Hopkins. That Orthopedic Doctor insisted on new X-rays (I believe with better equipment) which revealed bone splinters and the need for total shoulder replacement.
In the second instance, after many episodes of passing out, which resulted in her falling with resultant fractures, she underwent many tests of her heart. All showed a heart beat the doctors claimed was within the normal range. She kept passing out. We then went to a Doctor Doorey who reviewed all the test results and agreed this was not normal. He ordered more tests and repeats of those done before. Guess what, the new tests revealed an extremely low heart rate and possibly a point where her heart rate actually stopped. She now has a pacemaker and no longer passes out.
Under your concept she would have likely died. Stick to the slight of hand that keeps you in the news and don't make medical decisions.

Don't forget the purpose of Obama's plan. COST CONTROL. Older people will not receive as much treatment as younger people even though they get sick more often and with more life threatening illness'. Having said that, the younger people stand to contribute much more in TAXES, so keeping them healthy and working is more important than the older people.
Folks you just don't get it yet. Our government doesn't actually CARE about us. Now they can't just come out and say it. But it is true. Our government is a tool of our corporate culture. The corporations who control the government want certain things. Once you finally understand the Machiavellian needs and desires of our corporations, you will understand our government.
Stop expecting government to take care of you and your family. Think of the government as the enemy. Learn to take care of yourself IN SPITE OF THE GOVERNMENT.
It's like teaching a person how to drive a car. Teaching them to keep an eye peeled for the police is a huge part of learning how to drive.
