While we are at it, the Congressional Black Caucus has decided to make healthcare reform also an issue of race. No surprise there. To the CBC everything is an issue of race. Without race issues these people would perish of boredom. Now that Obama has thrown himself back into the healthcare debate, the caucus is urging him to focus more on racial disparities in medical treatment when he creates his government healthcare system. You do know where that leads, don't you? We already know that there is going to have to be rationing of health care services when the government starts running the show. Well, if there's going to be rationing, the CBC wants to make sure that race is a consideration. You can rest assured that when the rationing gets underway the race pimps will be watching very carefully to see that the numbers add up. This is going to get very tricky when it comes to issues like hypertension. Blacks suffer from hypertension to a greater degree than whites. Perhaps we'll have to assign quotas based on the occurrence of particular diseases among different races. Bottom line: rationing is a certainty, and the CBC is there to make sure the racial element is acknowledged.
The CBC also plans to introduce an alternative healthcare proposal. This version would seek to improve services in low-income areas (more entitlement programs), eliminate language barriers (more entitlement programs) and improve the collection of data to detect gaps in care for racial minorities (more government bureaucrats).
Trust me, you folks are going to LOVE government healthcare.
