Report on Possible "Patient Dumping" Scheme Involving First Lady Michelle Obama

Here is video of a Fox News investigation into what is called by some, a "patient dumping" scheme, headed up by First Lady Michelle Obama when she worked at the University of Chicago Medical Center. The plan was lauded as helping the poor to get appropriate care. But the bottom line is that it helped the hospital by routing poor patients away from a superior facility to a lower quality facility. In turn, it made room for insured patients to use the University Hospital facility. This could become a real bombshell, though it probably will never be covered by the mainstream media. . . . . .

I’ll have to read the whole article later, but this may not be a problem. If people are being steered from a trauma center to a lower level one or even to a clinic to be treated, and the need made that appropriate, this is a wise business decision for cost containment. Every business does this; ie some work stays here and some goes overseas to lower cost centers.

Yes, but we're talking humans, not nuts and bolts, and Lord knows, indigent people deserve to be treated in fancy hospitals just as much as those who have actually earned it.

Fixed it.

Just like Barry did with Rezko and government paid housing for blacks.

The Obama's. The ultimate sell outs. Black Clintons.

It is absolutely fair. This is the woman who was the support of the family with her huge pay no-show job. She attached her name to the idea that they should dump the poor onto county medical clinics, many of them unqualified to handle emergency care.

These people are the scum of the earth and must be dealt with as such. They have no qualms about sticking scissors in the scull of infants while in the birth canal or throwing live children into the garbage to allow them to die. Why is it so hard to imagine an instance in which they would turn the sick and injured away at the ER doors and send them someplace else?

The Obama’s are hand in glove together on their radical and abusive views. They are typical Chicago thug politicians that have been deeply involved in Pay to Play politics. Do you imagine that Michelle Obama was the least bit qualified for her position at the U of C Medical center had her husband not been involved in machine politics in Chicago? of course not, she barely made it into college on an affirmative action set aside and graduated to law school and from law school the same way her husband did, by virtue of their skin color. This is the Affirmative action presidency, and the results are already showing.

How is that Hope And Change working out for you?

Wake up.

University of Chicago isn’t a business.( Wink Wink, Nod Nod ). Supposedly non profit. Doesn’t pay any real estate taxes. Receives vast public funds for ‘helping’.

Just another example of powerful, influential, wealthy liberals talking the game, dumping the load and doing well for themselves.
