| Hospital System Backs Off Race-Based Treatment Policy After Legal Threat |
| 2022-01-15 |
| [Free Beacon] One of the largest hospital systems in the United States gave race more weight than diabetes, obesity, asthma, and hypertension combined in its allocation scheme for COVID treatments, only to reverse the policy after threats of legal action. SSM Health, a Catholic health system that operates 23 hospitals across Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, began using the scoring system last year to allocate scarce doses of Regeneron, the antibody cocktail that President Donald Trump credited for his recovery from COVID-19. A patient must score at least 20 points to qualify for the drug. The rubric gives three points to patients with diabetes, one for obesity, one for asthma, and one for hypertension, for a total of six points. Identifying as "Non-White or Hispanic" race, on the other hand, nets a patient seven points, regardless of age or underlying conditions. In a Dec. 30 email to physicians, the health system said it would use the same rubric for Sotrovimab, a monoclonal antibody treatment that has proven effective against the now-dominant Omicron variant. |

| #4 ????? Given Democrats have been adopting Socialism since Obama I would respectfully cahllenge the comment. 1. An Aug. 2021 survey by Fox News conducted found that 59% of Democratic voters hold a favorable opinion of socialism, compared to 49% who said the same of capitalism. 2. 44% of Democrats hold an unfavorable view of capitalism, compared to 31% who view socialism negatively. 3. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York self admitted SD. 4. Is it the GOP or the DNC pushing 75%++ Taxation, social realignment and a monthly socialist style paycheck?. 5.Of course the SD's in office must not be SD's just play actors. US Socialist Democrat Elected Officials 6. Gov. Social assistance eg.... 40++ million Americans benefited from SNAP, with over $57.1 billion spent. 7. OBAMA-CARE 8. August 13, 2018 GALLUP Poll Democrats More Positive About Socialism Than Capitalism. 9. The Democrat Leadership Unwillingness to Condemn Anarchy and Violence in over 20 Riots in the last 2 years. In fact many DC leadership expressed their "understanding" and support of the PORTLAND, SEATTLE, etc... Rioters, looters. BUT immediately condemn any Bill Of Rights protesters. 10. Defunding the Police so the rioters can steal and & burn wealthier areas, does not sound like PRO-USA, it sound like Socialist anarchy. 11. Ok what drives the BLM and Antifa rioters/looters? Even their leadership openly support Socialism and communism and Redistribute of Private Property. There is likely another 50+ easy example, but I feel I have open the curtain on this enough. |

| #3 Does anyone know that Democrats are not Socialists? Democrats are corporatists. They do not want to seize the means of production and hand them to the workers. They want to keep the means of production for themselves. Democrats despise Socialists. Remember when they cheated Bernie Sanders out of the nomination? Twice? |

| #1 SNIDE SARCASM SWITCH ON Published: Jan 12, 2022 In looking at the C-19/22 VAX Racial Demographics we quickly find... as of this week, federal data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that 74.4% of the total population in the United States have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. ... However, over the course of the US vaccination rollout, Black and Hispanic people have been the less likely (than their White counterparts) to receive a VAX.. So if it clear certain Racial Groups are dodging the VAX and the Socialist Democrat Liberals and Uncle Joe demands "Social VAX Justice"? Shouldn't those Groups be focused on to make it equal?? Or are we looking at the usual Socialist-Democrat dual application standard again? |
