I knew if I looked hard enough I'd find this crap in the bill.
• Secs. 2521 and 2533 (pp. 1379 and 1437) establishes racial and ethnic preferences in awarding grants for training nurses and creating secondary-school health science programs. For example, grants for nursing schools should "give preference to programs that provide for improving the diversity of new nurse graduates to reflect changes in the demographics of the patient population." And secondary-school grants should go to schools "graduating students from disadvantaged backgrounds including racial and ethnic minorities."

WHAT A CROC OF PELOSKI CHIT.
ReplyDeleteI am so sick of these stupid racial and ethnic preferences. How can our health care be improved by intentionally hiring the under-qualified. Racisim is alive and well in America - and the accusers are the culprits.
ReplyDeleteHouse bill establishes numerous metrics by which it bases grant-awarding preference concerning nurse, health science education. Contrary to McCaughey's suggestion that Secs. 2521 and 2533 establish only "racial and ethnic preferences" for providing grants, both Sec. 2521, which pertains to nursing education, and Sec. 2533, which pertains to "secondary school health science training programs," outline a number of factors that impact how grants would be provided. From the bill:
ReplyDelete2521. COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION TO NURSES AND CREATE A PIPELINE TO NURSING.
[...]
(g) PREFERENCE.-In awarding grants under this section the Secretary shall give preference to programs that-
(1) provide for improving nurse retention;
(2) provide for improving the diversity of the new nurse graduates to reflect changes in the demographics of the patient population;
(3) provide for improving the quality of nursing education to improve patient care and safety;
(4) have demonstrated success in upgrading incumbent health care workers to become nurses or which have established effective programs or pilots to increase nurse faculty; or
(5) are modeled after or affiliated with such programs described in paragraph (4).
[...]
SEC. 2533. SECONDARY SCHOOL HEALTH SCIENCES TRAINING PROGRAM.
[...]
(d) PREFERENCE.-In awarding grants and contracts under subsection (b), the Secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of at least one of the following:
(1) Graduating a high or significantly improved percentage of students who have exhibited mastery in secondary school State science standards.
(2) Graduating students from disadvantaged backgrounds, including racial and ethnic minorities who are underrepresented in-
(A) associate's or bachelor's degree programs in health professions or bachelor's degree programs in health professions-related majors;
or
(B) health professions.
I don't see anything about reparations, racial or ethnic preferences. But don't let facts get in your way.
Bullsh*t...did you find Noahs lost arc in there too?
ReplyDeleteIf your white your not right. Free to all others
ReplyDeleteElevating the unqualified to administer health care. How wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised there is not a provision baning Conservatives. I wonder if those selected for training would be required to pass an entry test.
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing new. I've been dealing with mandatory minority participation in contracting for years. Where have you all been?!
ReplyDeleteAll this affirmative action crap is just that-CRAP! Do we really need it after all these years?
ReplyDeleteand what about poor white kids?I guess they should just drop out of school now because theres no grants or programs for them.
