" If white America does not want the public option, give it to us."

Fine we'll give it to you as long as we don't have to pay for it.

The liberal black community doesn’t want anything if they have to pay for it.

Wouldn’t full reparations include repatriation?

Any “right” which bestows a material good upon a group of people will ultimately bankrupt the nation. If this isn’t an economic law, it should be.

If Obama spends enough money, the entire economy will collapse.

Guess who will be on the very, very, very, very bottom then?

I can’t believe it took this long for the first, “If you opppose government health care, you want to kill blacks” story to surface. There may have been others, but this is the first one I’ve seen that just comes out and says it.

My thoughts exactly, only the African American and other low income families don’t realize that any government program is nothing more than modern slavery.

What kind of crap is this? Who in their right mind thinks government health care can possibly be better than what we have now? How is that supposed to change societal dynamics that, for example, lead to the high rate of diabetes among the black population?

Virtually all the things they are complaining about in that first paragraph are lifestyle things that only they can control. Black males have a shorter life expectancy as an average because many of them kill each other when they are teenagers, therefore skewing the statistic. Diabetes and heart disease are very often tied to other things that individuals control, such as obesity. Even infant mortality is tied to things such as maternal diet.

I remember a program at a Catholic hospital back in the 1970s. They provided a free pre-natal program for black ghetto residents that included things such as meal planning, pre-natal vitamins, etc. It was hard to get the girls to come to it, except that some of them were so young they didn’t have much choice. When asked at the beginning of the program what they ate for breakfast, the response was potato chips and Pepsi. When asked at the end of the program, the response was the same. In fact, that seemed to be what they ate for most meals. And the number of them who took the pre-natal vitamins could be counted on the fingers of one hand. They all got welfare and food stamps and WIC vouchers (or whatever their equivalent was then). They did absolutely nothing to help themselves or their babies.

Until the lower-income black population stops being so passive and expecting everybody else to live their lives for them, nothing is going to change, no matter how much money we throw at them. Better off blacks are doing them no favor by ignoring this and continuing to cover up for this dysfunctional group by blaming whitey.

When a hospital has to make a rationing decision, are political ramifications going to guide their decision?

“From the cradle to the grave, African-Americans have poorer health outcomes”

Because that includes the cradle to grave welfare parasites and the people that live off of them.

You are exactly correct, and this the only morally valid option.

It is also what we need to work for to avoid a full-on armed 2nd Civil War. The progressives of all colors are welcome to however much of each other they vote themselves.

I am not available, however, for redistribution.

On any level, in any amount.

Would their poor health prospects have anything to do with their sexual behavior, drug and alcohol abuse, poor eating habits or diet, and violence toward one another?

Black women are 15 to 20 pounds heavier than white women. Compare these two charts found at the following links.
White Women
BlackWomen

Black Men, OTOH, are a few pounds lighter than White Men. Here is a source for more charts.

Let’s see. The ones over 65 have Medicare. The poor with children have Medicaid. The ones incarcerated have free health care. The ones in the military have coverage. The ones working at any business over 50 employees have coverage if they choose to and the ones who work for local, state, and federal governments have coverage. The ones working for ACORN have coverage. Have I left anyone out?

Per Reid “ We'll cover you from the cradle to the grave”.
Per Pelosi “ We'll cover you from the womb to the tomb”.
Per Zero “ Well cover you from the erection to the resurrection”.

How can anything be a ‘right’ that requires someone else
to provide that right?

Until they realize that “their community” is America they aren’t worth a gob of warm spit in my book.

Many of the health problems blacks have can be directly contributed to the high fat highly processed diets they refuse to give up. You can’t eat everything fried in animal fat and expect to be healthy!
