Harris said the pandemic 'has exasperated' the disparities in the health care system

$1.5 BILLION.

I say this is the beginning of the paybacks, to hospital systems, for going along with the ScamDEMic and $hot $hilling.

Time to set up “agencies” to insure “diversity” is happening.

Follow the agencies and “organizations” with these people.

Yeah, I’m thinking she wants hard-core quotas and lower standards in med schools and residencies beyond the AA stuff that’s been going on for decades.
At least the current students still have to take the MCAT (I hope?), she’d want that abolished if she discovers it’s a merit test.

I went to the hospital in Minneapolis. The HC workforce there looks like Africa.

My nurse was from Somalia and she was as kind as kind can be. Just a super nurse.

I was at a hospital recently visiting and to me, 70% of the nurses and doctors WERE NOT WASPS. So Giggles wants more white Europeans?

She probably meant to say "exacerbated".

Sounds sorta like "masturbated"; maybe she got confused.

In town with lots of black nurses and hospital workers do you have to hire Hispanics, whites and Asians to make up the racial difference?

She means start burning down the hospital, just like the rest of the buildings in America.

Does that mean you are going to bring in a bunch of Mexicans through the back door?

What is missing in health care personnel diversity? More USA born white people? Honest question.

I’d be happy if all the neurologists around could speak in a language I could understand without the nurse interpreting for me

I get frustrated at the language barrier, he gets frustrated and I leave suspecting that I’m not getting the best of care if we can’t communicate

I’d even settle for a VP who didn’t get her position by, um, assuming the position.

You are right - but even that would be a distortion of the truth.

She should have said that Covid has highlighted the differences. I doubt namely that, over the mere 21 months of the epidemic, demographics have noticeably shifted.
