The complete story is at story is at WorldNetDaily.

How will Obama cut costs? His June 13 radio speech gave some hints.Obama said his plan would provide "incentives" to doctors to "avoid unnecessary hospital stays, treatments and tests that drive up costs."
 

And what sort of treatment does Obama consider "unnecessary?" In an ABC News special June 24, he implied medical treatment might be wasted on elderly people with grave illnesses, citing his own grandmother as an example.
  

Dying of cancer, with less than a year to live, Obama'sgrandmother broke her hip. "The question was, does she get hip replacement surgery, even though she was fragile enough they were not sure how long she would last?" asked the president.
 

It turns out that Obama's grandmother did get the hip replacement, though he did not say so on ABC that night. Obama left the story about his grandmother unfinished, but went on to suggest that other people faced with such choices might do well to forget about surgery and settle instead for palliative or comfort care, treatment that helps you feel better while you are dying, but does not prolong your life.

"Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller," Obama concluded.
