What do you get when you cross a liberal elitist with a hospital administrator? Poor patient dumping!
ByVia Observations. I thought this sounded familiar.
Michelle Malkin dug a little deeper and what she found is truly disturbing. Future First Lady Michelle Obama, while working in her lucrative six figure job at the University of Chicago Medical Center, teamed up with none other than David Axelrod to concoct a scheme to dump low income, minority patients onto other hospitals.
Don’t expect the president to support a probe. While a top executive at the hospital, Mrs. Obama helped engineer the plan to offload low-income patients with non-urgent health needs. Under the Orwellian banner of an “Urban Health Initiative,” Mrs. Obama sold the scheme to outsource low-income care to other facilities as a way to “dramatically improve health care for thousands of South Side residents.” The program guaranteed “free” shuttle rides to and from the outside clinics.
In truth, it was old-fashioned cost-cutting and favor-trading repackaged as minority aid. Clearing out the poor freed up room for insured (i.e., more lucrative) patients. If a Republican had proposed the very same program and recruited black civic leaders to front it, Michelle Obama and her grievance-mongering friends would be screaming “RAAAAAAAAACISM!” at the top of their lungs.
I suggest you read the whole column. It’s an outrage that ABC News surely won’t mention in their Obamathon next week. Chicago politics + healthcare = poor minorities kicked to the curb. Is this what we want for the entire nation? Seriously?
