Among the many hidden changes to the American healthcare system that passed Congress last November are mandated racial and ethnic quotas for doctors and other health providers.
As American Thinker writer Allan J. Favish notes, the bill states on pages 879-880 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.”
[....]
“In awarding grants or contracts under this section, the Secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of the following: . . . Training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds.”
The provisions continue throughout the bill to cover every medical, nursing, dental school and teaching hospital in the country. It also guarantees the institutionalization of racial, sex, and ethnic quotas in perpetuity.
The use of the word “underrepresented” before “minority” ensures that the quotas will not apply to Asians or Jews, two minority groups that are arguably over-represented in the medical field.

What's new? That's the way it's been since 1964!!!!
The America-hating muslim in the White House should have his family subjected to affirmative action medical personnel just as he wants the rest of Americans subjected to.
So we get underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged groups, hence under trained, personnel to “practice” medicine on us.
Hey ron, I was thinking the same thing when I heard about harry reids wife and daughter's car accident. But, you that will never happen. Obama and his cronies give us the worst while they steal the best from us.
Since they are going to apply these race quotas to medical training, does that mean they are going to “dumb down” the educational standards so some of the slower students can actually get into, and graduate medical school? Thats scary as hell!
Oh I forgot, in anatomy class the dumber students can refer to that song we sang in school as kids. You know the one that goes something like this except this is the dumbed down version: Duh foot bone be connected to duh leg bone, duh leg bone be connected to duh thi bone, duh thi bone be connected to duh….uh…what be the next bone? he asks the depressed Asian girl sitting next to him in class who is in the process of hanging herself.
Hahaha, same thing in South Africa. Blacks can’t get into med school so the government passes a law.
