Biden Administration Offers Bonuses to Doctors Who Implement ‘Anti-Racism Plans’

WFB: The Biden administration will offer bonuses to doctors who “create and implement an anti-racism plan” under new rules from the Department of Health and Human Services, a move meant to update Medicare payments to “reflect changes in medical practice.”

Effective Jan. 1, Medicare doctors can boost their reimbursement rates by conducting “a clinic-wide review” of their practice’s “commitment to anti-racism.” The plan should cover “value statements” and “clinical practice guidelines,” according to HHS, and define race as “a political and social construct, not a physiological one”—a dichotomy many doctors say will discourage genetic testing and worsen racial health disparities.

The “rationale” for the bonus, the new rules read, is that “it is important to acknowledge systemic racism as a root cause for differences in health outcomes between socially-defined racial groups.”

Such premises have found a receptive ear in the Oval Office, which has taken steps to institutionalize them throughout the federal bureaucracy. Hours after his inauguration, President Joe Biden signed an executive order launching a “whole-of-government equity agenda,” one plank of which was the “equitable delivery of government benefits.” MORE

  1. This is good news for my new medical clinic, and we will be implementing our required “anti-racism plans” as soon as possible. These will include:
    – Lab coats, in the traditional medical practice white, which are floor length as a protective measure for our patients.
    – In order to make sure our doctors are visible from anywhere in the clinic, we will be transitioning to new headwear which will include tall pointy hats and, for the safety of our patients, full face coverings with only eye holes. All in traditional white, of course.
    – For our religious patients, we will be installing large crosses in the waiting room. However, for our non-religious patients, we will install gas jets in those crosses which will simulate crosses on fire. We want to be inclusive.
    – We will be installing industrial strength looped garage door pulls in the seating areas to assist patients who need help standing up.
    – We will no longer test for sickel cell anemia.
    – Medicines will be dispensed by placing them in a large room where patients can practice “grab and run.” This should result in a significant time savings for our patients as we will have already billed Medicare.

    Thank you for visiting Karl’s Klassy Klub medical center. See you soon.

  2. One year in and the stupid is coming home to roost already.
    What does your race bullshit have to do with our healthcare?
    Nothing; just more distortion & confusion.
    Joe wants us all as confused as he is.

    “Today eugenics is suggested by the most diverse minds as the most adequate and thorough avenue in the solution of racial, political and social problems.”

In a letter to Clarence Gable in 1939, Sanger wrote: “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members” (Margaret Sanger commenting on the ‘Negro Project’ in a letter to Gamble, Dec. 10, 1939).

    Is it a coincidence that 79 percent of Planned Parenthood’s surgical abortion facilities are located within walking distance of predominantly black or Hispanic communities?
