OT-Obamacare Affirmative Action
Still believe in post-racial politics? Read the health care bill. It's
affirmative action on steroids, deciding everything from who becomes a doctor to who gets treatment on the basis of skin color. Under the Democrats' plans, if a medical school wants to receive contracts and grants from the federal government, it must operate under a quota system and be able to prove it. On Page 909, the House bill states: "In awarding grants or contracts under this section, the (HHS) secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of the following: . . .. training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds." Jeffrey points out that in the name of eliminating "disparities" in health care, under the House version of the bill, payment to providers under the public option becomes a sort of Pavlovian reward and punishment system. "The secretary," says Section 224, "shall design and implement the payment mechanisms and policies under this section in a manner that - (1) seeks to . .. . reduce health disparities (including racial, ethnic and other disparities)." Everyone deserves the best health care and doctors. That will not happen under a plan that emphasizes affirmative action and leads to rationing. As the case of the New Haven, Conn., firefighters shows, reverse discrimination is wrong and dangerous. Whether it's that firefighter coming up the ladder, or the brain surgeon about to remove that tumor in your head, everybody wants that person to be the best regardless of race or ethnicity - and not admitted by quotas and promoted by political correctness. That's what all Americans are owed. http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArti...33586760867927 Best Regards Tom. |

FWIW -- "To spend ourselves rich and by doing so cure all the problems of the United States in the 21 century," is *NOT* an acceptable problem statement for a revision in medical care funding.
