Liberal Boston Hospital to Set Up Preferential Treatment Based on Race, Whites Last – Want to Make This a National Policy

Brigham and Women’s Hospital hospital says it will offer “preferential care based on race” and “race-explicit interventions” in an attempt to engage in an “antiracist agenda for medicine” based on critical race theory. 
A Boston Review article titled “An Antiracist Agenda for Medicine” lays out a plan from Brigham and Women’s Hospital that implements a “reparations framework” for distributing medical resources in order to “comprehensively confront structural racism.” 
“Together with a coalition of fellow practitioners and hospital leaders, we have developed what we hope will be a replicable pilot program for direct redress of many racial health care inequities,” Harvard Medical School instructors Bram Wispelwey and Michelle Morse wrote in the article.

If people don't get it after listening to this you really need to give your head a wobble

Nearly 20,000 people are out of their homes on the Caribbean Island of St. Vincent after the first volcanic eruption there in nearly 40 years...spewing ash for more than 40 miles....

I just heartsick at this. The Brigham and Women's isn't just a "liberal Boston Hospital". It is one of the top rated medical facilities in the nation, along with Massachusetts General Hospital. It is part of the "Longwood Medical Area" which includes Harvard Medical School and School of Public Health, Dana Farber Cancer Institute where Rush Limbaugh went for treatment, Boston Children's Hospital and Beth Israel Hospital. Technically I was born there, in 1944, when the Boston Women's Lying-In was still a separate facility.

And now it would place me last to receive care, because of the color of my skin. I'm simply appalled.
