I don’t understand why democrats want to discriminate all the dang time. We are one nation and should be one people.

Of course. Isn’t that what Obamacare is really about.

More reparations through the backdoor.

Because their elections depend on the myth that all minorities are victims and that they're the only ones who can save them.

She should start by being paternalistic about their diets. Its amazing certain ethnic/racial groups live past 40 on a steady diet of Mickey-D’s and fried foods.

As I recall there was a obligation put on doctors to have an equality of outcome in regards to treatment. So if you have five White guys with prostrate cancer and five Black guy with prostrate cancer, better make sure it’s an even outcome. Even if you have to “ration” treatment based on color..er “FAIRNESS”.

I’m just totally shocked...... It is always about race! We have several colored families that live in my area and attend our school as well as asian, hispanic, and I really don’t know what else - you see because I don’t care. They are neighbors.... They work, they go to school, and I’m sure they have insurance if they want it.

Are these people talking about couch potatoes that hand down that wealth of information on to their children on how to screw the taxpayer for handouts? We have whites that do that too! Its a culture not of color!

Just part of the stealth reparations that has been going on since 0bama was elected.

Obama stated in 2004 that he preferred universal healthcare and free education to a reparations check because the latter is a one time “off the hook” deal, while the other policies are ongoing.

I find this very hard to believe.

This is America. Land of opportunity for all who want it.
At least it was.

Seems simple enough to me. She’ll just deny health care to the”majority” once she finds out there are NOT unlimited funds to take care of both. I hope obama voters love it.

Sebelius and the other vermin don’t actually care about minorities or, for that matter, anyone except their wonderful fantastic selves.

They are simply giving health handouts to win Democrat votes. That’s all there is to it.

If you want to seize absolute power, you have to weaken the unity of a nation by pitting groups against one another.

I’m sure they would absolutely love to forcibly abort your “excess children” up to age say....6 years...for your “financial well-being”.

Nobody will be spared from their little utopia.

...at a convention of the National Action Network.

Sebulus should be ashamed of herself for going there. Sharpton is a race baiting piece of crap.

The irony-

In the name of equality some will be more equal than others.

The problem with ANYTHING the government runs, administers, or controls is that how resources are distributed becomes a political and ideological equation, not one based on consumer choice and a free market.

Beyond the stifling of initiative, creativity, competition, and the lack of focus on the customer/consumer and efficiency, governments typically end up allocating resources based on what best serves there political end. They end up managing through bureaucracy, they are large and process thinking and overlook the uniqueness and individuality in needs, bloated, slow, and reactive they are hardly the gold standard in anything they run. However, when an issue becomes politically loaded, then they will over react. After 9-11 the spouses of victims, in the 90s when sexual trauma was a big deal, after the first Gulf War when Gulf War Syndrome became a big media and political issue, then the politician will completely over react, throwing themselves out in front of the issue. Apparently this is how America wants it's health care run.

But at least there is an upside. I won't need to worry about much anymore. Standardized and regulated, the American health Care system will soon appear as private entities while in reality those with the power are government panels and regulatory committees that will define nearly every aspect of health care. From what, when, at what cost, to where will be regulated. Those who shrink at the thought of self determinism, who fear the consequences of their decisions or lack thereof, they will have their hand held by a nanny state. We have traded freedom for perceived security. The moochers, the ones looking for a free hand out at other peoples expense, they might make out as we “spread the wealth.” The hard core statist, the ones that see merit in centralization of systems and throwing all this power into the hands of a few, the ones who have a pseudo elitist view of society where the “masses” are stupid and not rational and need told what to do, they too will see current events in a positive light. Almost everyone you talk too that supports national health care falls in one of or a combination of these three groups: The mental midget/wimp, moocher, or statist.

Maybe the fairest way to deal with this is to insist that White people die sooner?

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is developing an action plan that will focus on reducing health disparities between minority and white populations.

There are two ways to accomplish this: 1) improve the average health of minorities, or 2) reduce the average health of whites.

Guess which is easier?

Umm.. they’re already trying that solution on their own.

90% of black/white interracial violent crime is a black person attacking a white person.

The whole point of Healthcare Control

is to deny political or ethnic “enemies” necessary healthcare,

in effect, killing them.
