Rep. Rush Charges Obama Health Program Dumps Poor Black Patients

The Chicago Sun-Times reported today that Rep. Bobby Rush called, in a May 25 letter to House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Ed Towns (D-N.Y.), for a Congressional hearing into allegations that the University of Chicago Medical Center refused treatment to low-income, uninsured patients — patient dumping. "At issue," the Sun-Times says, "is the hospital's Urban Health Initiative, which steers patients who lack private insurance — primarily poor blacks — to other facilities."

Rush's call for a Congressional hearing directly challenges a health-care policy initiated directly by the First Lady, which denies health care to Obama's own constituency. The Sun-Times thus explicitly notes that Rush's move puts him at odds with several people in the President's inner circle: "First Lady Michelle Obama, as an executive at the U. of C. Hospitals, helped create the program. White House adviser Valerie Jarrett signed off on the program when she was the hospital board's chairwoman. White House senior adviser David Axelrod was hired to promote the program. And Obama's buddy Dr. Eric Whitaker currently runs the program."

The Sun-Times also reports that in February, the American College of Emergency Physicians said that it was concerned that the policy was "dangerously close to patient dumping" and "reflected an effort to 'cherry pick' wealthy patients over poor."

If the Obamas will commit such a crime against their own Chicago constituency, why would you believe that the intent of Obama's Nazi medical reform program is anything other than mass genocide?
