Would Obama kill Granny?
In his Newsweek column, Evan Thomas makes the case for letting Granny go (or thinks he does) in the context of discussing his mother's decision to forgo heroic measures to keep her alive at the end of her life. Unfortunately, in his concern for keeping the cost down, Mr. Thomas danced around the essential point: it was his mother's decision; not his, not doctors, not lawyers, not insurance companies, not Medicare.
Ken Blackwell responds: "No, of course President Obama doesn’t want to unplug your grandmother.... It’s just that when he takes over health care, ... millions of decisions are going to be made. And they’ll be made by well-intentioned but fuzzy-thinking Obama [acolytes]."
They won't be made by Granny.
