Under the Democrats' health care bill, if a medical school wants to increase its chances of receiving many different kinds of grants and contracts from the federal government, it should have a 'demonstrated record' of training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups.
On page 881-882 the bill states:
"In awarding grants or contracts under this section, the Secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of the following: . . . Training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds." [yellow = pc-indent black then dr-red]
[Four more instances of above paragraph in different sections given... snip]
Apart from the unfairness to those who are not "individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups", the Democrats' policy will foster the racial preference climate that continues to stigmatize and demean those individuals who receive the preferences.
Worse, it creates a very significant financial incentive for medical schools and other entities to lower admission standards for individuals from such minority groups, if that is what it takes to have the government grant-winning "demonstrated record".
