Neal. Given the (under)achievement gap between white/asian and non-white students, I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the affirmative action built in to the health care bill. For example:<br> <br> On page 879-880, the bill states that the Secretary of Health and Human Services "shall make grants to, or enter into contracts with, eligible entities . . . to operate a professional training program in the field of family medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, or geriatrics, to provide financial assistance and traineeships and fellowships to those students, interns, residents or physicians who plan to work in or teach in the field of family medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, or geriatrics."<br> <br> The current bill as written provides financial incentives to those training programs and medical facilities who increase minority representation, not those who hire the best qualified applicant.<br> http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/07/racial_preferences_in_the_demo_1.html
