ObamaCare Would Impose Race Preferences on Medical Schools

Surprise — Democrats' arrogant bid to Stalinize the healthcare system includes race preferences:
Under the Democrats' health care bill, if a medical school wants to increase its chances of receiving many different kinds of grants and contracts from the federal government, it should have a demonstrated record of training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups. This is because the Democrats' health care bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to give preference to the entities that have demonstrated such a record in the awarding of these contracts to medical schools and other institutions.
The bill does not state what would qualify as a "demonstrated record", so we can expect medical schools and the other entities to do whatever they think they can get away with to train as many "individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups" as they think they might need to have a better "demonstrated record" in this regard than other entities competing for the grants and contracts. The Democrats' health care bill creates a very significant financial incentive for medical schools and other entities to lower admission standards for "individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups" if that is what it takes to have the winning "demonstrated record".
If you live long enough to get through to a doctor under ObamaCare, you'd better hope it's a white one; that's the only way you'll know the doctor is actually qualified, and wasn't shoved through the system to meet racial quotas.
Affirmative Action worked so well in selecting our current president, why not apply it to the doctors Big Government will select on your behalf?
Soon we'll have "post-racial" medical care.
