Video: Did Michelle Obama start a patient-dumping program?
Hot Air ^ | 07.23.09 | Ed Morrissey

While Barack Obama presses for health-care reform, Sean Hannity looks at his wife’s efforts to reform medical care at the University of Chicago Medical Center as its vice-president. In a lengthy segment on last night’s show, Hannity reports on the Urban Health Initiative, a program ostensibly intended to provide the kind of change in health care that President Obama says his program will deliver nationally — fewer emergency room vists, better wellness and prevention care, and lower costs. However, the people in Chicago see the UHI differently. In practice, it looks more like a patient-dumping scheme to avoid dealing with Medicare/Medicaid patients (via HA reader JiangxiDad)

It is a patient dumping scheme and Michelle received $350,000 to help keep the rich and powerful getting beds and special care while turning away those that didn’t have the money to pay for care. This investigative report was spot on about Michelle, the money ZERO steered toward University of Chicago hospital, and how she started making $350,000 a year after he got the Federal Grant.

It is against the law that was signed into effect for Pres Reagan. Blacks should get a clue that Republicans pass laws and sign laws to protect the most vulnerable and Dems take advantage of them and their almost solid vote.

Michelle Obama Is The “Specifically Named Individual” On Page 64 of The Affidavit Submitted by FBI

Blago apparently wanted the same job opportunities for Patty as Barry got for Michelle-Omarosa. It's the 'Chicago Way', of course. Gotta find a fat 6-figure job for the wifey following a political greasing. The Chicago cesspool was migrated to Wash DC, folks!

Just wait till the Brit media (usually the first ...) catch onto Michelle’s $317,000 per year job as VP for Community Outreach at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

That was as the ever lovely Michelle (lately the cover of Vogue) cooked up the means to shuttle poor and uninsured to smaller local hospitals rather than burden UC with the rude and unwashed.

Imagine had Laura or Bush (much less Nancy Reagan) led a similar operation to deflect poor and disproportionately minority patients from some smarty pants university hospital.

YUK. YUK. YUK.
