Boston hospital set to offer
'preferential care based on race'

Original Article

Posted By: AltaD, 4/8/2021 10:48:53 AM

A Boston hospital says it will offer “preferential care based on race” and “race-explicit interventions” in an attempt to engage in an “antiracist agenda for medicine” based on critical race theory. A Boston Review article titled “An Antiracist Agenda for Medicine” lays out a plan from Brigham and Women’s Hospital that implements a “reparations framework” for distributing medical resources in order to “comprehensively confront structural racism."(Snip) The authors explain that “racial inequity” in hospitals is negatively affecting patients and propose solutions such as “cash transfers and discounted or free care” for minorities only.

There are no white people in Boston who struggle to pay outrageous hospital bills?

And I'm sure that said hospital will turn away white doctors as well. I wouldn't walk through their doors as a white doctor because I'm pretty sure my malpractice insurer would not allow it.

Sounds reasonable. Use racism to fight alleged racism. The intentional balkanization of our country and constant race baiting and pot stirring by the original racist's, the democrat party, does not bode well for the future of our great country.

Tip of the iceberg. If they can get away with this, it won't be too long before political affiliation will be a consideration for medial care and treatment. Doubt me? Much like all the other things democrats propose, it's about buying votes with goodies. One current one is to pay off student loans, which they expect young people to feel an obligation to vote democrat since they provided the benefit. Another is immigration, by denying President Trump the comprehensive reform he was discussing, simply because they didn't want fund the border fence/wall, which Biden now admits they need to continue to fill in the gaps, they determined it would be politically more beneficial to wait and provide the amnesty/expanded asylum usage/DACA/Dreamer groups a benefit that they in-turn would feel obligated to vote democrat for generations. Despite they would have been moving forward on nearly all of those issues over the last 3 years if the democrats simply wanted to do the right thing instead of playing political games with people's lives.

We conservatives don't understand the subtle nuance with racism. When you discriminate AGAINST a race, that is RACISM. When you discriminate FOR a race, that isn't. See? Simple. (However, you can't discriminate FOR a race without discriminating AGAINST other races, but liberal minds don't go there.)

Chicago - The chief of the union that represents rank-and-file Chicago police officers warned that the force could be at half-strength over the weekend as a result of a City Hall mandate that officers must be either vaccinated against COVID-19 or tested regularly for the coronavirus.

"Research obtained by a group of scientists shows the COVID vaccine spike protein can travel from the injection site and accumulate in organs and tissues including the spleen, bone marrow, the liver, adrenal glands and in 'quite high concentrations' in the ovaries." This is what Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology warned about. The spike proteins are not staying at the injection site and they are dangerous. Protein in the blood can be very dangerous. A Canadian cancer vaccine researcher said last week, “We made a big mistake. We didn’t realize it until now,” said Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist and associate professor at University of Guelph, Ontario.

The voluntary goals finalized Wednesday for 163 foods are intended to help lower the amount of salt people eat.

Millions of retirees will see a significant boost to their Social Security checks as the Biden administration gave its cost of living adjustment (COLA) the most significant boost in nearly 40 years. Social Security checks will raise 5.9%, about $92 for the average retired worker, in a shocking display of inflation. For the last 10 years, an inflation lull has led to checks that rise only 1.65% per year on average.The Social Security Administration has not raised benefits so drastically year-over-year since 1982. A typical retired worker will now receive $1,657 a month starting next year while a typical couple's benefits will rise $157 to $2,753 per month.
