Reparations and preferences are only a good start. The only “final solution” is for the blacks to be the masters and the whites to be the slaves for at least 250 years.

Considering no one reads the thing, it was probably inserted by and written by a lobbyist and handed to a staff member.

These people are beyond disgusting.

God forbid the child of a tax paying white person should EARN his way into a spot on the staff, what’s so fair about that?

25 percent of ALL UNINSURED in this country are ILLEGALS!

43 percent of ALL UNINSURED in this country can afford it but don’t buy it!

26 percent of ALL UNINSURED in this country qualify for government assistance but don’t apply for it.

That leaves 6 percent actual UNINSURED!!!

Do we really want to change the best health care system in the world for SIX PERCENT of the people in this country?!!!

This is just yet another clear sign that this health bill has nothing to do with good health, it has to do with power, command economies, and abject socialism and marxism. Just like Cap & Trade, just like the Stimulus package just like the Czars, and every other major initiative of the Obama administration.

They are all unwarranted, unneeded, and unconstitutional power grabs by abject marxist ideologues.

Still naive I see. Blacks have some sort of deluded bone to pick and they don’t care about figuring things out on their own. If they were, they wouldn’t be in the mess they are now.

No matter what, blacks are determined to turn the entire country into their own playground with whites working and contributing to their piggy bank.

“Maybe we can just use shamans, medicine men and hedge witches”

We do already with ‘alternative herbal medicine’ as promoted by the entertainment industry.

I never thought I would see the day when a race would be so openly nasty about whites and keep promoting so much delusional stuff to make themselves feel better for not really contributing positively to society.

God awful; I am just so over this place they call the U.S.; it’s just gotten disgusting. The race crap is beyond crude, it’s gotten hostile to the point of revulsion.

Ditto that. I saw this clearly in 1996 when my fellow American citizens put Bill Clinton into office for a second time, which led me to conclude that America’s biggest enemy is ....

Americans!

It caused me to leave the country for more than one year.

Yep, we/they deserve whatever we/they get.

Absolutely true.

4 years ago, the daughter of a friend wanted to enter a dental hygienist program. She wanted to move from our rural area to Milwaukee, WI, live with her grandmother and experience an urban environment while getting her degree. She was from a low-income family, qualified for assistance, had top grades, was a high-school graduate from within the state and had been accepted into the program at a State technical training community college. Then, she had an in person interview. She was advised to get her training on the Western side of the state of Wisconsin because, in Milwaukee, there were very few openings for Caucasians. The majority of the openings were reserved for minorities. La Crosse, WI, OTOH, is predominately Caucasian and so, there are openings available for them, there. In Milwaukee, there was a 4-year wait for Caucasian applicants.

Anecdote, not data. This has already been established practice in health care of all types.

Racial diversity has been pushed at Med Schools for a while. The Bakke case was the Connecticut firefighters case of its day. This story from NJ Med School is unbelievable. You can’t make this stuff up:

‘White African-American’ Suing N.J. Med School for Discrimination
Paulo Serodio Says He Was Harassed, Assaulted After Defining Himself as African-American

Born and raised in Mozambique and now a naturalized U.S. citizen, Serodio, 45, has filed a lawsuit against a New Jersey medical school, claiming he was harassed and ultimately suspended for identifying himself during a class cultural exercise as a “white African-American.”

“I wouldn’t wish this to my worst enemy,” he said. “I’m not exaggerating. This has destroyed my life, my career.”

ADDM began in September 2003 as a four-year contract awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, Bureau of Health Professions, Division of Medicine and Dentistry. This innovative project addresses issues in medical and dental education, the health workforce, and leadership in medicine and dentistry.

There are already people pushing to put all alternative/complementary practitioners under a physician gatekeeper. The left wants insurance coverage for these modalities and some practitioners think that will increase their practice and income. It will not. Case loads and treatments will be mandated by the providing institution/gatekeeper and the pay will be lower because payment must be made out of the fee to the gatekeeper and the institution. Medicaid patients can receive covered massage under a physician’s prescription and it is paid out of municipal, county or state programs for the elderly indigent. The reimbursement was (as of 2000) 60% of the common price in the area for that service.

OTOH, acupuncturists have complained about physicians, RNs and other more highly-trained medical professionals using acupuncture, on the grounds that they lack the professional board certification for the modality. The complaint was thrown out because the higher degree trumps the professional certification.

There are a lot of turf wars at all levels of medical and health care practice. Shamans, hedge witches and medicine men are to be subsumed into the mainstream healthcare system, ASAP. There will be no escape for anyone.

I honestly foresee black-market, back alley medical/complementary medical practices springing up if all these restrictions come to pass. You will need a password and the name of “who sent you”. The government, OTOH, will not see any taxes from such practices.

Blacks are 13% of the population and thus should represent 13% of the workforce. Unfortunatelt, they do not as so many are addicted to welfare and government handouts.

Just another case of the democRATs exploiting the poverty they create.
