Finally...the $64,000 question was asked...

[MissBrattified]

The question is in Part 1 of the Complete Prescription for America from abc News. (Which was from June 24, 2009, btw--not yesterday. LOL!!!!)

Question: (from Dr. Orrin Davinski) "If your wife or your daughter became seriously ill, and things were not going well, and the plan physicians told you they were doing everything that could be done, and you sought out opinions from some medical leaders in major centers and they said there’s another option you should pursue, but it was not covered in the plan, would you potentially sacrifice the health of your family for the greater good of insuring millions or would you do everything you possibly could as a father and husband to get the best health care and outcome for your family? "

President Obama DID answer, and that was where he brought in the issue of his grandmother.

Answer: "… does she get hip replacement surgery even though she was fragile enough that they weren’t sure how long she would last whether she could get through the surgery. I think families all across America are going through decisions like that all the time. and you’re absolutely right that if it’s my family member, my wife, if it’s my children, if it’s my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care. but here’s the problem that we have in our current health care system. Is that there is a whole bunch of care that’s being provided that every study, every bit of evidence that we have indicates may not be making us healthier."

So, of course, even though he answered, he didn't actually answer the specific query, except to say that he wants them to get the "very best care." There wasn't "stony silence", or even any rudeness on the President's part.

I'm fine with discourse on this issue, but really...some fact checking is in order.
