Reparations By Way Of Health Care Reform

Still believe in post-racial politics? Read the health care bill. It's affirmative action on steroids, deciding everything from who becomes a doctor to who gets treatment on the basis of skin color.

President Obama is on the record as being officially opposed to reparations for slavery. But as with other issues, you have to sift through his eloquent rhetoric and go beyond the teleprompter to get at what he really means.

His opposition to reparations is based on the fact they don't go far enough. [snip] Under the Democrats' plans, if a medical school wants to receive contracts and grants from the federal government, it must operate under a quota system and be able to prove it. On Page 909, the House bill states: "In awarding grants or contracts under this section, the (HHS) secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of the following: . . . training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds."

Jeffrey points out that in the name of eliminating "disparities" in health care, under the House version of the bill, payment to providers under the public option becomes a sort of Pavlovian reward and punishment system.

"The secretary," says Section 224, "shall design and implement the payment mechanisms and policies under this section in a manner that — (1) seeks to . . . reduce health disparities (including racial, ethnic and other disparities)."

I've heard a lot about how obamacare will have to ration care based on age to control costs BY POLICY. I had not realized until now that they had included racial rationing BY STATUTE as well.

Everything these wacko liberals do is based on their hatred for the “oppressors” (whites) and their obsession for taking money from them and giving it to those who they consider “oppressed.”

We’re. Screwed.

For the sole purpose of keeping the recipients indebted and on the plantation.

wealth redistribution

I do NOT support reparations
white people fought and died for the rights and opportunities to be open to all, now it is up to all including descendants of former slaves, to make use of them

I’ve been thinking that this was the case for about three weeks now.

Obamacare=Reparations

Any viable options for refusing to give them any money? Or at least any MORE money?

Mass refusals to participate in the voluntary system? The “wealthiest Americans” won’t be paying a whole lot more if history is any judge. They will figure out a way to shelter theirs, as it should be: its theirs.

But what of the rest of us?

Gee, I thought quotas were illegal. Well, once Ms. Sotomayer gets on the court, they’ll overrule that and things will be hunky dory. My Italian American friend who deliriously voted for Obama because she wanted us to pay for her healthcare so she could go on as many vacations around the world as possible (married, no kids), claims she’s still thrilled with O’s performance. I asked her what she’d been drinking. She laughed, but she’ll never admit she made a mistake. Completely self centered. Well, she has dual citizenship, and if her marriage fell apart, she’d go home to Italy in a minute.

[dervish]

Not suprising. Everything now is racial. We all deserve to be punished by the post racial President who has set back race relations by decades.
