#24. Paying for Health care


Tomorrow, the United States Senate will begin debate on whether healthcare should be a right guaranteed to all by the federal government and paid for by the upstanding white citizenry of the country:

“The racial or ethnic composition of the 42.5 million non-payers roughly mirrors the demographics of American tax filers as a whole. For example, white Americans are 83 percent of total taxpayers, and the percentage of zero-tax filers who are white is 79 percent. African Americans are roughly 13 percent of total taxpayers and 16 percent of zero-tax filers. Asian Americans comprise 3.6 percent of total taxpayers and 3.2 percent of zero-tax filers.

That said, the percentage of non-payers within each ethnic or racial group does vary: 28.6 percent of Asian Americans tax filers get back every dollar withheld, 31.1 percent of white American tax filers will owe nothing, and 41.7 percent of African Americans will file a tax return with no liability."


The current estimated price tag for the implementation of universal healthcare is at a cool $1.5 trillion, as close to 50 million Americans currently our uninsured. If healthcare legislation in enacted, it will once again be white people (a mere 66 percent of the overall population) who will fit the bill (remember, they account for 83 percent of the taxpayers) who will shelter minorities from the cold:

“As 1 in 3 Americans self-identify as a member of a racial or ethnic minority group, and it is estimated that half of the U.S. population will be a person of color by 2045, there are significant health and economic consequences in eliminating, or failing to eliminate, disparities in access to health coverage and care. People of color are disproportionately served by public programs like Medicaid, and are less likely than Whites to receive health coverage through their employer. In addition, of the 45.7 million nonelderly Americans who were uninsured in 2008, more than half (55%) are people of color. Furthermore, a recent report estimated that 30.6%, or $230 billion, of direct medical expenditures between 2003 and 2006 were excess costs due to health and health care inequalities incurred by racial and ethnic minorities.”


Remember, Black people don’t pass on seconds, which puts them at a clear disadvantage when it comes to Black people’s health (take a look at the states with the best and worst overall health):
“The annual ranking looks at 22 indicators of health, including everything from how many children receive recommended vaccinations, to obesity and smoking rates, to cancer deaths. Vermont ranked first this year thanks in part to its low rate of obesity, high number of doctors and a low rate of child poverty. New England in general sets a benchmark for the country, the report found: All six New England states are in the top 10.

These states have favorable demographics and an excellent public health infrastructure, including a large number of doctors per capita.Eight of the 10 bottom-ranked states are from the south, with Mississippi coming in dead last for the ninth consecutive year. Mississippi has a sky-high death rate from heart disease and high infant mortality.”

Eight of the least healthy states come from the south? Wait, where is it that the majority of Black people reside in the United States? That’s right, the south:

The Black Population: 2000 [pdf], one in a series of Census 2000 briefs,shows that 36.4 million people, or 12.9 percent of the total population,reported as Black or African American. This number includes 34.7 million,or 12.3 percent, who reported as Black alone, in addition to 1.8 million,or 0.6 percent, who reported as Black in combination with one or moreother races.

The 10 states where 60 percent of African Americans resided were: NewYork, California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina,Maryland, Michigan and Louisiana. Five of these had more than 2 millionBlacks each: New York, California, Texas, Florida and Georgia.

Of all the people who reported as Black in Census 2000, 54 percent lived in the South, 19 percent lived in the Midwest, 18 percent lived in the Northeast and 10 percent lived in the West."


Bad health and Black people are – according to the data – synonymous with each other, and the new healthcare legislation will only burden the tax payer – 83 percent happen to be of the monochromatic hue of white – with higher taxes. Consider the state of Black America’s overall health:

In 2005, the death rate for African Americans was higher than Whites for heart diseases, stroke, cancer, asthma, influenza and pneumonia, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and homicide.

In 2005, African American men were 1.3 times as likely to have new cases of lung and prostate cancer, compared to non-Hispanic white men.

African American men are twice as likely to have new cases of stomach cancer as non-Hispanic white men.

African Americans men have lower 5-year cancer survival rates for lung and pancreatic cancer, compared to non-Hispanic white men.

In 2005, African American men were 2.4 times as likely to die from prostate cancer, as compared to non-Hispanic white men.

In 2005, African American women were 10% less likely to have been diagnosed with breast cancer, however, they were 34% more likely to die from breast cancer, compared to non-Hispanic white women.

African American women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with stomach cancer, and they were 2.4 times as likely to die from stomach cancer, compared to non-Hispanic white women.

African American adults are twice as likely than non-Hispanic white adults to have been diagnosed with diabetes by a physician.

In 2002, African American men were 2.1 times as likely to start treatment for end-stage renal disease related to diabetes, compared to non-Hispanic white men.

In 2003, diabetic African Americans were 1.7 times as likely as diabetic Whites to be hospitalized.

In 2005, African Americans were 2.2 times as likely as non-Hispanic Whites to die from diabetes. Click here for more statistics on African Americans and Diabetes.

Heart Disease

In 2005, African American men were 30% more likely to die from heart disease, as compared to non-Hispanic white men.

African Americans are 1.5 times as likely as non-Hispanic whites to have high blood pressure.

African American women are 1.7 times as likely as non-Hispanic white women to be obese.

Although African Americans make up only 13% of the total U.S. population, they accounted for 49% of HIV/AIDS cases in 2007."

It looks like universal healthcare passing will greatly impact the wallet of white people, for the bills will pile up to ensure that Black people’s overall health improves.

The health bill must be passed and Black legislators in Congress voted nearly unanimously for ratification, save for one, whom found himself the target of Jesse Jackson’s rhetorical bullets (remember, Mein Obama has been his target as well, er… his nuts):

"The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Wednesday night criticized Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) for voting against the Democrats’ signature healthcare bill.“We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill from Alabama,” Jackson said at a reception Wednesday night.

“You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.”…He is also the only member of the CBC to have voted against the healthcare bill earlier this month.…Other members of the CBC found no fault in Jackson's words. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) was in the audience.

He called Jackson's criticism of Davis "accurate," but said he did not hear Jackson say "You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man."

"If it is an issue that disproportionately impacts black folks, race has to be considered," Cleaver said. Jackson, he added, "is expected by his constituency to call balls and strikes."

It was hoped that with the election of Barack Obama we would live in a post-racial world, but instead we live in a world where racial strife seems to be aggregating at an exponential rate."


Atlanta – SBPDL’s favorite city – is home to Grady Memorial Hospital, which:

“…serves a large proportion of low-income patients. The hospital is supported almost entirely by Fulton and DeKalb counties, with little help from the suburbs or state, despite serving all of metro Atlanta's several counties.Grady has also suffered from corruption and cronyism.

In 2005, a state senator was convicted of using his influence to secure overpriced Grady contracts for his temporary services business. It is further plagued by staff shortages and anachronistic technology - notably as one of every five Medicaid reimbursement billings were rejected by the state due to filing mistakes.”

Let’s take a closer look at Grady, a hospital that grants “free” healthcare to the citizens of Atlanta:

“Solving some of Grady’s financial problems would also stir political tensions, the task force soon learned.Minority communities feared Grady, which cares for many of metro Atlanta’s uninsured and under-insured, would no longer serve them.

Founded in 1892, Grady provides about $270 million — 40 percent of its budget — in free health care per year.

“I think me being a part of the committee brought some level of sensitivity and integrity to the African-American community,” Russell said. “I certainly was very clear the mission was not to discontinue services to the minority community, but to enhance the quality of service.”

The task force not only sought financial solutions to Grady, but had to “educate the community on what Grady meant,” said Correll, now chairman of Grady Memorial Hospital Corp., which oversees Grady Health System.”

How was Grady so mismanaged you might ask? The answer might surprise some:

"Its (GRADY) budget of about $750 million was largely dependent on Medicaid patients; Grady is the state's largest Medicaid provider.

The hospital took a double blow in 2006 when the state legislature sliced $60 million out of the hospital's already strained budget and the hospital's indigent care bill swelled by $73 million.

It left a staggering gap between Grady's expenses and its income.

``It, in effect, sunk us,'' said Dr. Christopher Edwards, former vice-chair of the Fulton Dekalb Hospital Authority.…The next day, Grady's CEO, Dr. Otis Story, resigned. He had been at the helm for less than a year, often at odds with Grady's leadership. Now he would not be a part of the new plan.

A week later Edwards announced his departure, and a list of nominees for the new nonprofit board was unveiled. The list, which identified 11 of the 16 proposed members, included black and white citizens from the business and healthcare communities.

The names did little to put Fort at ease.

``The people who were named were not engaged in this issue,'' Fort said. ``And the money is tied to a specific person. That person's going to drive the train.''

Fort is referring to Correll. To Fort, Correll a former Georgia-Pacific CEO represents the white takeover of Grady, which is currently run by a majority-black board, serves mostly black patients and was most recently headed by a black man.

``What they're basically saying is, 'We cannot trust black people to run that hospital,''' Fort said. ``The changes at Grady are a signal that Atlanta is changing.''

Fort sees Grady is the first domino as the business community eyes opportunities to usurp the city's black political power.

``What's next? MARTA? Hartsfield?'' Fort asked, referring to Atlanta's public transportation system and airport.”

Black political power in Atlanta is waning, which could help save Grady. MARTA and Hartsfield will be the subject of another conversation...

Healthcare reform in the United States is important, but free healthcare put Grady Memorial Hospital in a hole it will never climb out of and worse, merely changing the color scheme of the Board of Directors of that organization is grounds for racial insensitivity and racist.

Worse, the changing demographics of America will result in an erosion of the majority of the tax base, which will only cause taxes to go up. Grady Memorial Hospital is a microcosm of the problems healthcare that is universally guaranteed will cause.

Black people can’t admit the failure of that hospital is on their hands.

Black people won’t admit the massive costs of universal healthcare will be on their hands either, although the data cited in this article shows whom will benefit most from free care.

Obviously, Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes paying for healthcare, for Obama will not only pass legislation that will pay for Black people’s mortgages and gas, but also their healthcare… all on that evil, white devil’s dime. For we know Black people don't listen to CDC, thus white stewardship must include fitting the bill for Black health.

Why am I a total moron? Calling names is one thing, but you failed to back up your interesting - and anatomically impossible manner of conception - put down with any information that would refute what was written, that necessitated the moron comment.

Black people will benefit from Universal Healthcare far more than any other racial group, and the high rates of obesity among Black people will only burden the system that much further.

Have you never heard of Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta? Do a few google searches... it is a poorly run hospital and overburdened as well, thanks to Black people.

Much like the city of Detroit, the future of healthcare in America will be worth as much as the Silverdome.

SBPDL-

You're not a moron, but you are extremely naive. If you're talking about black people benefiting from this so-called health care reform, you are correct if you mean blacks that have stock in these companies(like myself) or executives and to a lessor degree company employees. Remember all of those idiots following the marching orders from News corp.(Fox news) went to those stupid town hall meetings screaming and grunting like dumb animals while insurance company lobbyists gave billions to Democrats and Republicans to ensure that what ever passes while benefit them. Giving nearly a trillion dollars of tax many to wealthy bankers is not socialism. It was simply the largest bank robbery in history. Mr. Obama is just carrying the torch for Bush. He's nothing more than a smiling face used to pass a corporate agenda. Based on what I've been reading here a vast majority of whites are naive and believe the lies and nonsense these politicians tell them. People aren't supporting this crap because they're socialists. They're supporting this because it's going to make them rich.

It appears that people like myself are the product of homosexual gratification. I'm sorry if you find this 'fact' disturbing. In the end it is the only explanation for how homosexuality has continued to exist.

Please, Mr SBPDL, just take solace in the fact the you aren't the only 'anal conception' around these days...

Please add this one to "Stuff black people don't like" Naive white people who believe Obama is a liberal or a socialist. Lets face it this so-called healthcare reform will go down in flames. The Republican power structure will get a win under the belt and the insurance industry will screw the entire country white and black alike. The bank bailout started by Bush wasn't socialism, because how could it be socialism if billions of dollars goes to millionaires. It was simply the largest bank robbery in history and you naive people fell for it hook line and sinker. Obama doesn't care about me and Bush didn't care about you. You're not a moron, but if you believe half of this crap then you're very naive.

I wonder how long before people start to realize:
1) Democrats will do/say ANYTHING to get in power/stay in power.
2) Obama was elected (not in spite of but) BECAUSE he is black.

He doesn't give a crap about your color unless it's going to benefit him. He wants power and to make America more socalist/liberal/"DEMOCRATIC". (see how I use the slashes there because socalist/liberal/democrat are all the same thing)

But besides all of that... who in their right mind would think that it's a good idea to give the American government control of its citizen's healthcare? Does anyone really think our government has done such a great job with any other program that would warrant them taking over our personal health?! How the hell did the idea of American government go from protecting us to taking care of our every thought and potential need? Are Americans becoming that stupid? Are we already?

No one seems to mention the nationwide database of health information on every single citizen that this 'initiative' also includes.

Please, let me take my tinfoil hat off and explain the most basic breach this effort will have on our society. The banks and other large companies were recently the benefactors of a socialistic attempt at the defibrillation of the dead carcass of America. These banks use a private system to judge the 'credit worthy' as they seek their profit from those that would aspire for the American dream.

The 'credit system' consists of a few 'credit reporting agencies' that have a mystical power to ascertain your ability or will to repay any loans that potential usurers could make a profit from. A nationwide database of health problems and genetic deficiencies is essentially an identical system that pertains to profitability as well.

Once a database of this type has been established there is little chance any attempt to reverse this global/federal/corporate system will ever be reversed. Let there be no doubt in your mind about how important money is in medicine or anything else for that matter.

Yes, I am speaking of a 'health/credit agency' that will decline you because of unprofitably.

So, I guess you're one of those "the jews rule the world "people. If that were true wouldn't the majority of religious people in this country be Jewish instead of Christian? The reality is that the vast majority of American bankers are not Jewish, just like the country at large. The bottom line is that all religion is nothing more than a childish fairy tale used to control stupid and naive people. When are you people going to learn that Obama is nothing more than an extension of Bush? It's not what a politician says that matter it is what they do. It's really funny to see crazy white people get all upset about a president that is basically a white dude with a really dark tan. While we're fighting about stupid silly things the real business of government is taking place. Industry lobbyists are throwing billions at democrats and republicans to ensure they get their way. The politicians give us mascots and circus acts like Bill Clinton playing a Saxophone, Joe the plumber, Hillary drinking a beer with people she would never associate with if she wasn't running for office, Obama playing basketball or dancing on the Ellen show, or Sarah Palin with all of that Hockey mom crap. Who falls for all of that nonsense? Barack Obama is not my savior or my friend, and you guys need to understand that the previous 43 WHITE presidents weren't yours.

I have really enjoyed your comments to this site. Many of your comments regarding healthcare happen to fall in line with mine, as you discuss the pharmaceutical companies usurping even more power and money.

Please continue to post your thoughts. I would argue one of the former 43 presidents was pretty good... Jame K. Polk.

Porter said...

That's interesting. SBPDL, If you're not being facetious in your praise of black guy then you have certainly gleaned some wit and insight from his musings which have been undetectable by me.

I do note a kind of low-brow supercilious nihilism from him along the lines of "Nothing really matters, they're all Jack-Asses and YOU PEOPLE are too dumb to see it." Well, what a heavy burden he must bear.

I thought this rhetorical question (?) of Mr. Guy's was typical:

"Remember all of those idiots following the marching orders from News corp.(Fox news) went to those stupid town hall meetings screaming and grunting like dumb animals while insurance company lobbyists gave billions to Democrats and Republicans to ensure that what ever passes while benefit them."

This non sequitur had several moving parts.
1) white conservatives don't think, they take "marching orders." (from Fox News natch). I suppose that this would be in direct contrast to their lower-IQ black countrymen who ponder the deepest civic externalities before shrieking about "racism" and then demanding yet more preferences.

2) "Screaming and grunting like dumb animals" I won't touch the "dumb animals" dig except to offer up this gem from a previous SBPDL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuTyKoAi4Jc.

And it is also worth mentioning that that "screaming and grunting" was political agitation in its proper forum. Though it's easy to see how Mr. Guy could have been confused into thinking that only blacks get to do this.

3) And yes I'm certain insurance companies lobby legislators just as a myriad of other groups do. I'm not keen on this, but am less keen on the idea that lawmakers can't be petitioned. If BG doesn't approve of this system, perhaps he can suggest an alternative.

Porter-

I would probably understand your points if you would at least stay on topic. I believe the topic is this so-called healthcare reform. Also I'm quite aware that the main theme here is black people suck and we are the worst things on the planet earth. I hope you see that I also have a lot of problems with idiot black people who praise that half black dude in DC. You see it's not what people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Obama, Joe the plumber, Sarah Palin, or whatever manufactured phony they put out in front of us says, It's if the people are naive enough to fall for it. As far as taking marching orders from News Corp.goes it's not just white conservatives it's liberals also of all races. Just keep in mind that when you tell people on the web and your TV shows to go down to the town halls just remember that everything is recorded. Rush Limbaugh is on tape telling his listeners to go to the meeting to disrupt them. People have the right to do or say what they want ,I'm just saying don't cry if while you were at a town meeting waving a picture of Hitler insurance industry lobbyists are making backroom deals that are going to screw us all. I have stock in these companies that stand to benefit and I have medical insurance. So, good luck! The alternative to this system is that Americans stop falling for the lies and deceptions from both parties. The talk of death panels and abortion clinics in schools is a lot of fun, but I just recommend people do a little research into the real plan beyond the smoke and mirrors. You don't find it interesting that concrete deals have been stuck with industry groups before a vote was even made by the finance committee? Hate black people all you want, hell I find it extremely funny. Just don't be naive. Politicians have been screwing us long before the half black dude's arrival, and they will continue long after he is gone if we don't wise up.

Porter said...

Mr. Guy,

That was one long paragraph. And coming from someone complaining about staying on point, a meandering one. But just for the record, I actually did stay on topic--the topic that I was plainly commenting upon: you.

But if you'll indulge me, I'll attempt to address your points, to the extent I can fathom them, in digestible pieces.

1) People of all races and ideologies should not be lead blindly by media figures: I agree.

2) You say "I'm just saying don't cry if while you were at a town meeting waving a picture of Hitler insurance industry lobbyists are making backroom deals that are going to screw us all."

a) whether or not a person chooses to actively voice his interests in a political forum *specifically designed for this very function* is unrelated to whether insurance lobbyists are making back room deals. Also unrelated is whether someone is "waving a picture of Hitler."

Taxpaying legal citizens *should* express themselves at these events. And the more often they do so the better. I don't know if you are advocating silent serfdom or not so I won't put those words in your mouth. But I don't comprehend your disdain for these people and you certainly haven't articulated it.

b) Exactly who are these insurance devils making backroom deals with and why? The *who* would be members of our esteemed legislative and executive branches. And the *why* is because enormous power has accumulated in Washington. The power to impact every citizen in nearly every aspect of their lives. Lobbyists of all stripes seek to harness this power to their own ends.

What I find so bizarre is that you despise the backroom power plays made possible by a leviathon federal government and simultaneously despise the tea-partiers who want to limit the ability of these corporate/government deals to "screw us all." You really ought to pick a side.

3) You say "The alternative to this system is that Americans stop falling for the lies and deceptions from both parties." Well, that's a nice thought but it's hardly an alternative to the system in place. Hoping that people stop falling for lies and deceptions is however an alternative to real life.

4) You say "Politicians have been screwing us long before the half black dude's arrival" I agree, though I wonder if you and I are thinking of the same "us?"

Nice chatting with you and have a happy Thanksgiving.

Mr SBPDL and Black Guy,

I neither seek the destruction of the 'chosen' nor the destruction of black 'culture'. I merely seek the distinction of White men from the self proclaimed 'jewish' race.

If you are actually a White man as I am, Mr SBPDL, I am ashamed of you for disregarding the database tangent that I described.

I remember a post not so long ago that you claimed in a comment that it was your desire to 'wake' people. That post pertained to a 'Muslim' man named Hasan. It has been most disappointing to me thus far hearing you pander to a negroid man instead of addressing this most pertinent issue.

I appreciate both Mr SBPDL's and Black Guy's input on the issues under discussion here. For the record I don't think that 'jews' directly 'rule' the world. I think that 'White' men with no pride or direction have that title.

In the end all these people need to think for themselves, and I doubt either of you would disagree.

Porter,

Before I say anything let me apologize for the long paragraph. I guess I didn't realize this was an online English course.Also I understand that you have genetic problems with me, but here are my problems with a few things you said.

1. Waving pictures of Hitler and stupid signs at townhall meetings instead of asking coherent and logical questions of our elected officials sends a message to those in power. It allowed many of the deals to be done in plain site, and not behind the scenes.

2. Tea party "activists" aren't anti-tax or anti-government spending they're anti-democrat, mainly anti-Obama. They will go away when the Republicans take the white house back. If you think I'm full of it, where did all of the "anti-war" protesters go since Bush left office? The two corporate wars are still raging with no end in sight.

3. You say I should pick a side. What side? Both parties are simply two sides of the same coin. Lies and deception from the right or lies and deception from the left. You call that choice?

4. 4) "Politicians have been screwing us long before the half black dude's arrival" I agree, though I wonder if you and I are thinking of the same "us?"

If you and I live and work in the same country, I'am talking about the same "us". Don't worry I predict in 2012 you will be getting screwed over by a Republican. It won't be as bad as this because he or she will look like you, and that's all that matters.

Barack Obama and Sarah Palin have a lot in common. If you can't see that, you're in bad shape.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mr. Guy,

I hope you had an abundant feast and a joyful day with the family; I did. But I did want to respond briefly--or less so.

"I guess I didn't realize this was an online English course."

That's what this site is here for: to educate. And for our next lesson, I'd like to focus on your use of non sequiturs and how they detract from the persuasiveness of your arguments. But that's for next time...

"Tea party "activists" aren't anti-tax or anti-government spending they're anti-democrat, mainly anti-Obama"

This isn't actually true generally. Speaking only for myself, I am anti-tax, anti-government spending (or more accurately, anti-extraconstitutional government spending), anti-democrat, and anti-Obama. For people like myself, both parties are indeed two sides of the same coin *precisely as you stated.* The tea party activists have no use for that coin. Thus again I'll express my perplexity at your disparaging of these people.

As for why there is more anti-democrat than anti-republican sentiment among the tea partiers, it's quite simple. Republicans are typically the lesser of two evils. My selection criteria between two candidates is usually to ask who will work to destroy the country slower. As we see with Obama, the democrats work very quickly indeed.

Finally, I'd like to give you a "shout out" as Obama would say. I saw in other comments where you said: "No one in my family gave into the whole integration craze. we keep to our own neighborhoods, schools, churches,etc. I believe I had a great childhood and life because of it. Also, I like trains and so do my children."

This is a wonderful statement on multiple levels. Sane people of every race neither need nor want integration. You lived happily among your own people and have grown to a productive adulthood without the "critical" need for "diversity." You also imply that you play an active role in your children's lives. Given that the black illegitimacy rate is somewhere between 65-80% I find this heartening as well.

Anonymous said...

Porter,

I realize you refuse to admit this truth, but the tea partiers will go away as soon as Obama leaves office. Your beacon of truth known as News corp.(Fox news) will kiss the ass of the next Republican that spends this country in the ground.

This website should be shut down. Stuff white people like is based on jokes, this is based on outrageous racism.

Whoever created this is a seriously misled individual. This is an unbelievable display of white supremacy. Stop blaming black people for all of the country's problems. Not all black people are unintelligent babbling fools like you make them out to be. Black people have done plenty for this country (including being enslaved and dominated for years) so calm down.

By the same token there are plenty of white people that can't speak correct english, don't pay taxes, don't have jobs, live off of welfare and disability, are sexual perverts, are obese, have health issues etc. So instead of blaming things on black people blame things on every PERSON who doesn't contribute to society.

Universal health care to, me at least, isn't about money and the selfish thought that comes along with it. Its about HUMANITY. Have the common decency to realize that while some of you may have plenty many of your fellow human beings sharing this planet have NOTHING. regardless of race. You are a selfish, inconsiderate and pitiful human being if you cannot think beyond your own wealth and cannot see beyond your own front yard to care for someone else who is suffering from a health issues. You could get a job, work all of your life and find out one day that you have cancer, heart disease, diabetes etc. and all the money you have worked for and saved is not enough to pay for treatments. This could happen to any of you or your family members.
This kind of though really just makes me sad.
