Barack Obama Wants Health Care For Everyone…His Wife Doesn’t
Posted by Carl on 10/20/2008
Senator Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle is on unpaid leave from her $317,000 a year job as a vice-president of the University Of Chicago Medical Center.
She was making a mere $122,000 a year just before her husband got elected to the Senate.
Before she went on leave, Mrs. Obama was instrumental in having the hospital adopt a program known as the Urban Health Initiative.
The purpose of the plan is to steer people who don’t have adequate health insurance to other care facilities.
Opinion polls taken among Chicago area medical professionals at the time the plan was put into effect were highly critical, calling the plan a break with the medical center’s commitment to the community.
Many doctors also noted that the treatment the people turned away would receive would be inadequate, stating that the level of care at local medical clinics left much to be desired.
Barack Obama’s top political strategist, David Axelrod, co-owns the firm, ASK Public Strategies, who, after some urging from Michelle Obama, was hired by the hospital to try and sell the plan to the community as a better alternative.
Another Obama adviser and close friend, Dr. Eric Whitaker, took over the Urban Health Initiative when he was hired by the hospital.
So the man who is going to see to it that we all have access to top-notch health care is married to a woman who advocated a plan for the hospital she worked at to deny first-class health care to those who need it the most.
Can someone reading this please explain this to me?
Who will judge what level of health care someone receives?
Because after learning that Michelle Obama had a hand in deciding that poor people shouldn’t receive the same level of treatment, suddenly I’m not feeling so well.
