Health Care and Racial Preferences: To Democrats They ARE Related, As Another Bill Turns Into a Democratic Wish List

Below is an analysis, WITH SPECIFIC, CITED EXCERPTS FROM THE BILL, of provisions in the original House health care bill REQUIRING preferences for minorities (almost surely unconstitutional) for medical schools (and other health care schools?). I don't vouch for all of this, because it was forwarded to me off of the internet. However, I know that it is mostly correct, because I have seen multiple sources for this basic info. More importantly is the FACT that Democrats, AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, do not want you to know what is in the health care bill, or what will be in the final bill. That final bill will be prepared in the dead of night, based on some "compormise", as was true of the "stimulus" bill and of the "cap and trade" "energy" bill. Democrats, and the mainstream media, do not WANT the people to know what is in this bill, or what will be in the final version of the bill. the bill is being sold with DECIET, with Obama even trying to deny that he ultimately wants a "sintle payer", government health care system, despite his many previous statements to that effect. Further, how can you ATTACK the private health insurance industry as your manin TACTIC to try to get this bill passed and still say that you are not ultimately aiming for a Federal Government takeover of our health insurance system and health care system. These people (leftist Democrts, mainstream media, Obama, and Democrats in Congress) are LIARS. Thus, what is important about what appears below is to alert you to the kind of thing that WILL appear in the final health care bill. This bill needs to be DEFEATED, and not "mended" in some kind of sham "compromise" (perhaps signed onto by both Democrat and Republican WIMPS denying the reality of what is happening). NO bill is going to be better than whatever bill results from the DECEIT that is now going on to trly to get this bill through by hook or by crook.


Proof with actual excerpts of the law regarding preferences for minorities
July 21, 2009...9:33 amWhites Need Not Apply to Become Nurses or Docs in Obama’s Healthcare PlanJump to Comments
Underrepresented minorities to get preferences for grants, contracts and enrollment to become doctors, nurses or dentists. Skin color will determine careers in Obama’s Marxist world.
While the legislation is clever enough not to actually state “No Whites” or ”Whitey Take A Hike” – we’re not stupid. We know the intent in the Marxist Healthcare Bill that Obama is pushing like a crack dealer on America is clear: minorities get the jobs, the grants, the education in healthcare. Merit, skill, aptitude and achievement are no longer the criteria in America; skin color is. Class status is.Color blind America? Nope, not with the Marxist Democrats and Obama. Al they see is color and class – and they are about the task of institutionalizing their brand of racism on America, a “revenge” for the sins of the patriarchs. ”Change” America was stupid enough to vote for.Racial Preferences in the Democrats’ Health Care BillBy Allan J. FavishAll 1,018 pages of the Democrats’ health care bill can be inspected here. The bill includes racial preferences. Under the Democrats’ health care bill, if a medical school wants to increase its chances of receiving many different kinds of grants and contracts from the federal government, it should have a demonstrated record of training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups. This is because the Democrats’ health care bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to give preference to the entities that have demonstrated such a record in the awarding of these contracts to medical schools and other institutions.The bill does not state what would qualify as a “demonstrated record”, so we can expect medical schools and the other entities to do whatever they think they can get away with to train as many “individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups” as they think they might need to have a better “demonstrated record” in this regard then other entities competing for the grants and contracts. The Democrats’ health care bill creates a very significant financial incentive for medical schools and other entities to lower admission standards for “individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups” if that is what it takes to have the winning “demonstrated record”.On page 879-880, the bill states that the Secretary of Health and Human Services“shall make grants to, or enter into contracts with, eligible entities . . . to operate a professional training program in the field of family medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, or geriatrics, to provide financial assistance and traineeships and fellowships to those students, interns, residents or physicians who plan to work in or teach in the field of family medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, or geriatrics.”On page 881-882 the bill states:“In awarding grants or contracts under this section, the 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.”On page 883 the bill states:“The Secretary shall make grants to, or enter into contracts with, eligible entities . . . to operate or participate in an established primary care residency training program, which may include-(A) planning and developing curricula; (B) recruitment and training of residents; and (C) retention of faculty.”On page 884-885 the bill states:“In awarding grants and contracts . . . the Secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of training . . . individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds . . . .”On page 887-889 the bill states that the“Secretary shall make grants to, or enter into contracts with, eligible entities . . . to operate a professional training program for oral health professionals, to provide financial assistance and traineeships and fellowships to those professionals who plan to work in or teach general, pediatric, or public health dentistry, or dental hygiene, to establish, maintain, or improve academic administrative units (including departments, divisions, or other appropriate units) in the specialties of general, pediatric, or public health dentistry, to operate a loan repayment program for full-time faculty in a program of general, pediatric, or public health dentistry.”On page 889-890 the bill states:“In awarding grants or contracts under this section, the 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.”On page 908-909 the bill states: “The Secretary shall award grants and contracts to eligible entities” to do the same things for the field of public health as the Secretary can do for dentistry.On page 909 the bill states:“In awarding grants or contracts under this section, the 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.”Apart from the legality of such preferences under the U.S. Constitution and the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and the unfairness to those who are not “individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups”, the Democrats’ policy will foster the racial preference climate that continues to stigmatize and demean those individuals who receive the preferences. For example, if you know nothing else about two university students, except that one was probably admitted under a program where intellectual standards were reduced and the student received a preference for being the child of an alumnus, and the other was admitted under more rigorous intellectual standards without receiving any nonmerit-based preference, what are you going to think about these two students? Is the answer any different when the preference is based on race rather than an alumni relationship?A nonmerit-based preference program based on an individual’s physical appearance or surname is no less a “badge of inferiority” than the one condemned in Brown v. Board of Education. Thanks to the Democrats’ racial preference program, all of the “individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups” at these medical schools and other entities, including those who deserved admission without the racial preference, will wear that badge.
