presidents worth more than us? Options

[T00000]

So I recently came across this article on yahoo news. One section struck me as odd:

Several surgeons uninvolved in Clinton's care said they didn't think his doctors would risk treating him with newer, experimental approaches like robotic surgery or laparoscopy, sometimes called keyhole surgery.


"With three-vessel disease in a president, I don't think I'd be doing it," said Dr. W. Randolph Chitwood, chief of cardiovascular surgery at East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., and a spokesman for the American College of Cardiology.

Does this mean that average people are less important than presidents? Or what? Because if these procedures are "dangerous" then why would it be okay to do them on other people and risk their lives more than the lives of presidents? It worries me you know... hm.

its a shame people arent treated equally. celebrities are treated so much better than average people, its a bunch of BS. unless you really degrade yourself (steal from people, etc) no one is better than anyone else in the world. I cant stand it when celebrities commit crimes and get off so easily. If some average joe would do that theyd be in a ton of trouble

as for the whole clinton thing..if they were gonna try this new stuff on other patients, why not use it on Clinton? what makes him so much better than us?
