Racial Preferences in the Democrats' Health Care Bill
American Thinker ^ | July 21, 2009 | Allan J. Favish

Posted on 07/20/2009 10:20:39 PM PDT by AJFavish

All 1,018 pages of the Democrats' health care bill can be inspected here. The bill includes racial preferences. Under the Democrats' health care bill, if a medical school wants to increase its chances of receiving many different kinds of grants and contracts from the federal government, it should have a demonstrated record of training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups. This is because the Democrats' health care bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to give preference to the entities that have demonstrated such a record in the awarding of these contracts to medical schools and other institutions.

Perhaps somebody in what is left of this country's news media can find out who is responsible for the racial preferences in this bill. I want names.

These preferences, I'm sure, will also apply to medical schools that propound reproductive services (read train for abortions).

“...it should have a demonstrated record of training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups.”

I don’t suppose big Irish mugs qualify, do they?

“...who is responsible for the racial preferences in this bill. I want names.”

That will be a very loooooong list, I’m afraid. Try the world’s entire ‘left-wing’.

The white race must be ‘equalized’.

Translation: “To the back of the bus, honky!”

Only a fool would believe that they want equality.

Shouldn’t surprise anybody. Well, the sheeple of America that are at the mall. It might surprise them.

I’m at the point where I’ll oppose it and call my Congresscritters, but I really don’t care if the RATS get their agenda through or not. I think the majority of Americans deserve it, and I HOPE that they run out of HOPE in the unemployment line. Those of us that actually read some things tried to warn you idiots.

Thank you for calling this to our attention. We need to get this out to the FR press list. Glenn Beck, Hannity, O’Reilly, etc.

Would someone post the list with email addresses, please?

This will give new meaning to the term “Medical Practice.”

We’re going to end up with minority doctors and surgeons who were pushed through school and residency without regard to competency in order to meet quota timetables.

I should have placed an "end sarcasm HTML tag" at the end of that sentence.
This is exactly what I expect and more.
Lowering of standards for racial, sexual, and who knows what other social engineering the liberals and democrats will conjure up for quotas.
Sign the on-line no social health-care petition, call your senators before it's too late.
