    Most of these people are foreign nations that you are talking about. They aren’t even from the same group of people Brigham and Women are treating. They are citizens not foreign nationals. Your lumping everyone with a dark skin together. Foreign Nationals will get their healthcare through their employment benefits packages Even with Medicare.

    The regular citizens of Boston and New England, aren’t so lucky. They could be on lower paying HC systems like Medicare and other public assistance programs. You and I, if we are white, normally have no trouble getting HC literally, any where.

    Brigham and Women must feel they have a responsibility treating the less fortunate. It’s their choice. They will pay the price in suits if it turns out that way. It has no affect on we whities at all. It’s about the money and local minorities not black and brown foreign nationals.

    So you're saying that these non-white medical professionals are favouring white patients? Is that seriously what you're claiming? Because you know in some places there are more non-white doctors and nurses than white doctors and nurses.

    And you're also claiming that the same people who are becoming doctors and nurses, are somehow unable to get themselves treated for medical conditions?

    PS: No it's not because of a lack of local education. Most of those non-white medical professionals were either educated in America, or were retrained in America.

    It's not ME lumping all brown people together - it's these institutional racists trying to reinvent institutional racism. It's THEY who have decided that non-white people are helpless and stupid and need cosseting. I'm the one saying clearly that's not the case - since plenty of brown people work in the medical professions.

    PS: Those 'foreign national' doctors cannot practice medicine in America without retraining in YOUR education system. Furthermore, a higher percentage of them were actually educated in America - even if born overseas.

    No, they are part of an insane left wing organization that demands that blacks get preferential treatment in every way. Otherwise the administrators making big salaries will be replaced by like-thinking cronies.

    Should come as zero surprise. Not even a slight attempt to hide it.

    Its real and it is a travesty.

    But like everything, very few on the right care because it doesn’t impact them.

    And if you have a problem with said racism, he claims you are "whining".

    This sounds fishy. Is this an abortion clinic?

    You must think only left wingers work in hospitals. Righties had a say in this decision. You know, the old time righties who actually believed in freedom and equality.

    Show us how that isn't happening today. Show us that this hospital, in particular, was guilty of not seeing black patients.

    How is racial profiling a condition of freedom or equality?

    So, do I have this right? They're saying they will provide preferential care based on race so they'll be anti-racist? Think about that. Isn't anything base on race, not need or anything else, being racist since you're deciding who gets care based on race?

    It seems to be making race, any race the number one criteria is being racist. If our goal is a color blind society, we have to lose this race thing. We have to begin to look at every single one of us as being the human race.

    Why don’t you ask Brigham and Women. If you’re looking for that answer in a forum maybe you should look elsewhere. But I am very pleased righties are upset after supporting white supremest Trump for four years. The hypocrisy is hilarious to behold.

    Perhaps I will. Tell me though, what insecurity are you hiding behind that you could justify racial profiling, and at the same time accuse anyone else of being a supremest? That's a logici knot you're not going to scape...

    Me insecure ? I’m certainly not looking for answers on a forum like you are. . But like I said from the beginning, I really enjoy the anguish coming from the right.

    That’s because I don’t pretend to know what I don’t know. Now the right on the other hand, will just make up sht and think it supports whatever.......

    I don't see the problem with it considering they are trying to proactively address bias against minority patients and build trust within the minority communities for the quality of care they will render to them. Specifically, they did their own internal study that showed minorities with heart conditions requiring hospitalization were being admitted to general medicine and not to their cardio units they way they should have. They looked at other studies and saw the healthcare disparities minorities were confronting every day like not having their self-reported pain levels taken seriously and set about to figure out a way to level the playing field.

    You don't have to go too far in a google search to discover that there is a disparity in treatment between white and black and hispanic people. Simply because you want there to be no difference doesn't mean there isn't a difference. I'm thinking the boston hospital is simply acknowledging the problem and is now ensuring equal treatment versus what has occurred in the past.

    If it is classified as non-emergent you would not have to if you reside in those states. Did you even bother to read the bill?

    And I have seen some of your opinions here, they don’t instill confidence in our medical professionals being professional.

    You’re really working hard to make a connection between foreign nationals and black and Brown people here. It’s a tactic to explain away whatever. It’s not working, duh. But it does reinforce how oblivious to racism the right is.

    Let's see how this plays out when the patient bills get sent out. I could probably get a hell of a deal on that building in a year.
