Abdul El-Sayed blames slavery for US healthcare woes — says opposing taxpayer funded care for illegal immigrants is akin to racism
NY Post ^ | 9/16/26 | Josh Christenson

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed claimed that slavery “profoundly” influenced the American health care system and that any public opposition to taxpayer-funded treatments for illegal immigrants would be a “deliberate, racist attack.”

In a resurfaced 2022 interview, the doctor claimed slavery still weighs on America’s for-profit health care.

“Racism continues to flummox our capacity as a society to invest in collective public goods” and remains “more powerful than the self-interest of … lower income white folks … in legacy confederacy states,” he said.

The Michigan Democrat, who ran a failed campaign for governor of his state in 2018, went on to assert that “structural racism” was one of the main reasons the US hasn’t passed Medicare for All or another universal, government-run health care system.

“Because in this country we have a privatized, partitioned health insurance system, the value of providing care, the reimbursement of providing care to different people’s bodies, differs based on how much money they make,” El-Sayed added.

“And how much money they make because of structural racism differs based on the color of their skin,” he said.

El-Sayed also claimed black bodies are valued at a lower rate than white children in US heatlhcare.

Opposition to Medicare for All is driven by “Reagan-esque trope[s]” and concerns about the care “being unearned,” El-Sayed said in the 2022 video.

El-Sayed, who has called for abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, expressed support for taxpayers paying for illegal immigrants to get healthcare.

RE: “structural racism”

Like systemic racism, it means no one individually can stop their white supremacist racist bigotry because they are born with it since their mothers gave birth on stolen land tilled by enslaved black people.

Therefore, someone who takes arms against a white person s doing uplifting work.

He’ll get a lot of votes from people with a chip on their shoulder.

Photo of KKK march....

Wonder if Democrat Senator Robert Byrd is there. Hillary Clinton strongly praised him and hugged him later. He officially resigned from the Klan and said it had been a mistake to join it.

Wikipedia:
Robert Byrd (1917-2010) was a Kleagle, a Klan recruiter, in his 20s and 30s, rising to the title of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter. After leaving the group, Byrd spoke in favor of the Klan during his early political career.

Though he later said he officially left the organization in 1943, Byrd wrote a letter in 1946 to the group’s Imperial Wizard stating “The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia.” Byrd attempted to explain or defend his former membership in the Klan in his 1958 U.S. Senate campaign when he was 41 years old.

Byrd, a Democrat, eventually became his party leader in the Senate, and by the 2000s was considered one of the chambers most liberal members.[

There is no other nation on the Earth that is allowing, even encouraging its own demise based on its own social and political tenets.
We MUST get a grip on this. Our view of freedom is not the view shared by the world at large. Our freedoms are ONLY appropriate for a Christian nation.
Wake up, America! We are sponsoring our own demise...

REAL HISTORY would teach the blacks that Arab Musloids were mostly responsible for the slave trade.

Pieces of slaver crap with “Abdul” and “El-Sayed” in their names.

The Left - It's racist to profile illegal immigrants as people of color.
ALSO
The Left - It's racist to deny illegal immigrants tax payer benefits.

The 20th hijacker Abul El-Sayed is an agitator who is PROBABLY FUNDED BY CHINA. Somebody tell him that providing ANY kind of support to ILLEGALS is AGAINST FEDERAL LAW.

Why is it "rayciss"? The health care companies will take anyone's money. The whiners are welcome to pay for their insurance like everyone else does.
