Here is Obama pontificating about health care for the elderly; his advice is take a pain killer. I don't think that would have worked for me. Prior to having coronary artery bypass surgery I didn't have any pain. But, the cath test indicated that I was about to die from a blood clot at the entrance to my left circumflex. I suspect that there would have been some pain just before I died. I suppose Obama is correct that just dying would have saved a lot of money.
