One of the ‘Important People’

FEATURE: This is what happens when a reporter tries to make an OBGYN appointment with Eric Holder’s wife

I was told the OBGYN practice where the wives of two prominent Democrats are partners reserves its morning appointments for “important people.” It was an intriguing claim, especially given the fact that Foxhall OB/GYN Associates does not accept Medicaid even as the office is being used as a prop in a Democrat’s congressional campaign.

I decided to investigate. Could I get a morning appointment? Was I one of the “important people”? After an awkward 15-minute conversation with the office manager, it turned out I was—though only after she realized the story I was writing might not reflect well upon the practice. It also helped that I am not enrolled in Medicaid, because Spring Valley, the upper northwest D.C. suburb where Foxhall resides, does not, I was told, have the “demographics for it.”

...

John Foust has made his wife the face of his campaign for Virginia’s 10th District. Dr. Marilyn Jerome is an OBGYN, who practices alongside Attorney General Eric Holder’s wife at Foxhall. Dr. Jerome claims that her husband is a better candidate because he will never get between a woman and her doctor.

“As an OBGYN,” Foust attacks his Republican opponent Barbara Comstock for opposing Medicaid expansion. Failure to expand Medicaid to rural hospitals could be “devastating,” he says.

...in public, Dr. Jerome is preaching the Affordable Care Act and praising the Medicaid expansion while, in her practice, she doesn’t accept it

I have no idea where this was going, as the excerpt was extremely difficult to read, IMHO.... not going to force my brain to try to figure it out.

The article is about Democrat hypocrisy.

Important people impose liberal policies, unimportant people pay the price.

Really?
and this from the article didn’t give you a clue?
“also helped that I am not enrolled in Medicaid, because Spring Valley, the upper northwest D.C. suburb where Foxhall resides, does not, I was told, have the “demographics for it.”

Dr. Jerome is generous with other people’s money. Of course an idiot liberal who is not affected by Obamacare supports Obamacare. His customers are “important” and pay cash or have generous obamacare exempt insurance.
