Racial Preferences in the Democrats' Health Care Bill

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.

The decades-old policies of government-mandated racial quotas and "race/gender-norming," not only in college admissions, but in hiring practices in the private sector, have backfired by unintended consequence:
Whenever circumstances lead me to seek medical attention, legal counsel, or other services where high quality is critical, I overtly reject such services from non-whites and non-males. I am forced to insist on a white male, diplomatically explaining that I cannot take the chance that a non-white-male provider may have gained their credentials via a lowered standard, rather than academic acheivement or demonstrated exceptional ability.

I recall a case some years back in California that gained national attention, when a man did exactly what I describe. He refused to accept medical treatment from a non-white. I don't remember the outcome.

The unfortunate fact is that due to government meddling in such things, I can no longer trust any minority to provide me with critical services. So, even the ones who are really good at what they do must remain suspect in my eyes. I cannot afford to take chances with my life, or my loved ones' just to remain PC.

For anyone challenging my stance on this subject, let me ask you a question: If your son or daughter had an accident, requiring delicate neurosurgery to save his/her life, would you want a doctor who got his license because he was good with a scalpel, or just because his skin was the right shade of brown? So, the sad truth is, because of gender- and race-norming, the only way I can be certain that my doctor is competent is to make sure he is a white male. As such, I know he didn't get to, and through, medical school as a result of a "program" or any lowered standard. Don't blame me, the government made me a "racist."
