Surprise, surprise
Obama says that doctors provide unnecessary surgeries to boost their
bottom line, and lo and behold, we suddenly get stories of people being
coerced into unnecessary procedures.

And, of course, we all know that anyone who tweets anything is telling us
the absolute gospel truth.

And, of course, if this woman turns out to have complications because
she actually should have had surgery, she'll no doubt sue both hospitals
for malpractice.
