Michelle Obama: “Patient Dumping” While at University of Chicago Medical Center
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on June 22, 2009
The truth isn’t pretty…
Excerpted from Michelle Malkin’s blog: The Obamacare horror story you won’t hear.
I blogged about Michelle Obama’s role in creating a patient-dumping scheme for the University of Chicago Medical Center back in March. With her husband and the Democrats unleashing health care horror story anecdotes to gin up public fear and build support for the beleaguered Obamacare plan, my syndicated column today revisits the kind of “reform” the Obamas and their Chicago cronies champion — and who benefits…
The White House, Democrats, and MoveOn liberals are spreading health care sob stories to sell a government takeover. But there’s one health care policy nightmare you won’t hear the Obamas hyping. It’s a tale of poor, minority patient-dumping in Chicago — with First Lady Michelle Obama’s fingerprints all over it.
Both Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa and Democrat Rep. Bobby Rush of Chicago have raised red flags about the outsourcing program, run by the University of Chicago Medical Center. The hospital has non-profit status and receives lucrative tax breaks in exchange for providing charity care. Yet, it spent a measly $10 million on charity care for the poor in fiscal 2007 when Mrs. Obama was employed there—1.3 percent of its total hospital expenses, according to an analysis performed for The Washington Post by the non-partisan Center for Tax and Budget Accountability. The figure is below the 2.1 percent average for nonprofit hospitals in surrounding Cook County…
From the American Thinker:
The First Lady helped create a notorious program that dumped poor patients on community hospitals, yet the national media ignore the story. Imagine if her husband were a Republican.
The University of Chicago Medical Center has received a good deal of justly opprobrious press over its policy of “redirecting” low-income patients to community hospitals while reserving its own beds for well-heeled patients requiring highly profitable procedures. Substantial coverage was given to a recent indictment of the program by the American College of Emergency Physicians. ACEP’s president, Dr. Nick Jouriles, released a statement suggesting that the initiative comes “dangerously close to ‘patient dumping,’ a practice made illegal by the Emergency Medical Labor and Treatment Act, and reflected an effort to ‘cherry pick’ wealthy patients over poor.”
[...]
Meanwhile, the program’s parents, Michelle Obama and David Axelrod, have moved to Washington. As the First Lady and the President’s closest advisor, they wield enormous power. Indeed, they may be the most powerful people in the Obama Administration, aside from the President himself. If these two characters were willing to betray their Chicago neighbors — the South Side’s most vulnerable citizens — with a disgraceful program like the Urban Health Initiative, what sort of mischief will they devise for the hapless denizens of flyover country?
Come to think of it, isn’t Obamacare being sold to us in pretty much the same way the Urban Health Initiative was sold to Chicago?
From Chicago Sun-Times in 2008:
Chicago Sun-Times: U. of C. shunning poor patients?
HOSPITAL DISPUTE | Obama’s wife, 3 aides tied to plan to free up space
By Tim Novak and Chris Fusco
August 23, 2008Sen. Barack Obama’s wife and three close advisers have been involved with a program at the University of Chicago Medical Center that steers patients who don’t have private insurance — primarily poor, black people — to other health care facilities.
Michelle Obama — currently on unpaid leave from her $317,000-a-year job as a vice president of the prestigious hospital — helped create the program, which aims to find neighborhood doctors for low-income people who were flooding the emergency room for basic treatment. Hospital officials say such patients hinder their ability to focus on more critically ill patients in need of specialized care, such as cancer treatment and organ transplants.
Obama’s top political strategist, David Axelrod, co-owns the firm, ASK Public Strategies, that was hired by the hospital last year to sell the program — called the Urban Health Initiative — to the community as a better alternative for poor patients. Obama’s wife and Valerie Jarrett, an Obama friend and adviser who chairs the medical center’s board, backed the Axelrod firm’s hiring, hospital officials said.
Another Obama adviser and close friend, Dr. Eric Whitaker, took over the Urban Health Initiative when he was hired at U. of C. in October 2007. Whitaker previously had been director of the Illinois Department of Public Health. Obama has said he recommended Whitaker for the state job, giving his name to Tony Rezko, who helped Gov. Blagojevich assemble his Cabinet. Rezko, a former fund-raiser for Obama and Blagojevich, was convicted in June on federal corruption charges tied to state deals.
Medical center officials and Obama’s presidential campaign staff say the Urban Health Initiative — along with a three-year-old companion program called the South Side Health Collaborative — will dramatically improve health care for thousands of South Side residents. They say that, rather than having to wait hours at U. of C.’s emergency room, those patients get seen sooner and at less expense at neighborhood clinics and other hospitals. U. of C. even offers them a ride on a shuttle bus to other centers and sometimes provides the doctors at those facilities.
“Senator Obama sees community health centers as a vital part of efforts to invest in prevention and reduce costs,” said Ben LaBolt, an Obama spokesman.
But the Urban Health Initiative has critics, including South Side residents and medical professionals.
“I’ve heard complaints from a handful of constituents, but I’ve also had calls from people in the health care profession complaining,” said Ald. Toni Preckwinkle, whose 4th Ward is just north of the hospital. “The medical professionals who have come to me are accusing the university of dumping patients on its neighboring institutions. … Whether it’s being implemented in the way that’s in the best interest of the patient, I can’t tell you.”
Sen. John McCain, Obama’s Republican opponent, criticized the Democratic presidential hopeful Friday for having pledged on the campaign trail to expand health care for Americans at the same time his top political strategist “was running a campaign to cut coverage for the poor.”
Axelrod, whose firm stopped working on the project in October, responded that he was concerned that presidential politics was distorting the university’s efforts to improve health care for poor people and to lower costs.

AMERICA’S NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY!
It’s official. America and the World are now in a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. A World EPIDEMIC with potential catastrophic consequences for ALL of the American people. The first PANDEMIC in 41 years. And WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES will have to face this PANDEMIC with the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed World.
STAND READY AMERICA TO SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
We spend over twice as much of our GDP on healthcare as any other country in the World. And Individual American spend about ten times as much out of pocket on healthcare as any other people in the World. All because of GREED! And the PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare system in America.
And while all this is going on, some members of congress seem mostly concern about how to protect the corporate PROFITS! of our GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT NATIONAL DISGRACE. A PRIVATE FOR PROFIT DISGRACE that is in fact, totally valueless to the public health. And a detriment to national security, public safety, and the public health.
Progressive democrats and others should stand firm in their demand for a robust public option for all Americans, with all of the minimum requirements progressive democrats demanded. If congress can not pass a robust public option with at least 51 votes and all robust minimum requirements, congress should immediately move to scrap healthcare reform and demand that President Obama declare a state of NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY! Seizing and replacing all PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance plans with the immediate implementation of National Healthcare for all Americans under the provisions of HR676 (A Single-payer National Healthcare Plan For All).
Coverage can begin immediately through our current medicare system. With immediate expansion through recruitment of displaced workers from the canceled private sector insurance industry. Funding can also begin immediately by substitution of payroll deductions for private insurance plans with payroll deductions for the national healthcare plan. This is what the vast majority of the American people want. And this is what all objective experts unanimously agree would be the best, and most cost effective for the American people and our economy.
In Mexico on average people who received medical care for A-H1N1 (Swine Flu) with in 3 days survived. People who did not receive medical care until 7 days or more died. This has been the same results in the US. But 50 million Americans don’t even have any healthcare coverage. And at least 200 million of you with insurance could not get in to see your private insurance plans doctors in 2 or 3 days, even if your life depended on it. WHICH IT DOES!
Contact congress and your representatives NOW! AND SPREAD THE WORD!
God Bless You

Be afraid, be terribly afraid, but better than that, act.!! Stop this evil pair and their evil acolytes. Tell your family, friends, anyone who will listen about what their evil intent is for our country. Call, write your representatives. Voice your opposition to State run health care.Voice your opposition to Cap and Trade. We can make a difference. We can stop this insanity.
I beleive strongly that our healthcare system is not broken. No one is turned away from hospitals because they do not have insurance.
Meanwhile – many people who have taken care of themselves, do not smoke or drink alcohol to excess, or use illegal drugs and have been educated and WORK for a living and do have insurance pay very high premiums to assure those without coverage are not turned away. The price they pay (and new participants) would be lower if our government dealt with the real issues of illegal immigration and legal cost. But Noooooooo – Most of our lawmakers have law degrees and wouldn’t dare risk the income of the fat lawyers nor would thye want to alienate illegal aliens that ACORN might be able to get to vote for them.
We should all be frightened of our government enough to re-read the Declaration of Independence to get motivated to change our government in upcoming elections. Every one of them must go.

If Obama’s comment don’t get we the American people up in arms then nothing will, Obama has now said that we should not treat our old people such as our parents and grand parents to save money, just let them die! Holy Cow what can this man say that the people don’t fall all over him with support! He and his family will always get the best care available to keep them alive no matter how old they are!

Obama will speak tonight and take questions. It is my wish that someone will bring up
the University of Chicago program involving Michelle, Axelrod, Jarrett and Obama(money to not for profit hospital?) This would reinforce what he is trying to do to all of us. Some
realize that he wants to control every aspect of our lives, but we need the questions asked while he is taking questions. It is time for people to see that Obama does not care about the poor, but instead uses them to further his power grab. Too many still believe that he is a compassionate man. I just want to see a real Birth Certificate like mine that is 72 years old and has all of the details. Even the Doctor that delivered me, along with my mom and dad’s occupation is listed.
The reason your birth certificate has all of such information is because of one of two reasons: (1) its not your birth certificate, its your birth record; there is a difference; or (2) because its 72 years old. People weren’t in such a hurry back then (not to mention the lack of concern over identity theft) and spent a lot of wasted time copying down useless information that the general public doesn’t need to know in order for you to prove your heart pumps red, white and blue. Mine is 42 years old and doesn’t even list my parents NAMES. If you want that information, you have to contact Harrisburg.

Your blog, your rules. Fine. Not all liberals need to use the \F-word\ (I wonder if you mean \fag\ which your side has no problem at all using, anytime respectable people aren’t listening of course). But I wonder if you’ll publish a reply calling you, MIchelle Malkin, Faus News, the American Thinker (an oxymoron if there ever was one) and the Chicago Sun-Times (that bastion of the mother of all oxymorons: \conservative thinking\) the bald-faced liars you are?
Since Michelle, your harpy-in-chief, doesn’t allow postings by anyone she hasn’t personally screened (can anyone say \free-speech zones\?) I’ll have to refute this drivel right here, where you at least seem to welcome opposing viewpoints that aren’t based in Michelle Obama left UCMC in 2008, and reduced her working hours to part-time in 2007. Even the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) that Malkin, American Thinker, and now you by associaton love to trumpet as evidence of malfeasance on the part of the Frist Lady, didn’t release their much-ballyhooed statement of concern on this \patient dumping\ practice until the month after our President took office, and over a year after the first lady left. Any of your Jim Jones-like kool-aid drinkers here could have even checked that out by availing themselves of the link that Malkin provides to their statement, checking the dateline and doing a little math. Nope… its just easier to read something from people you \trust\ and assume they aren’t leading you around by your bullringed nose for their own deviant purposes.
Of course, if they aren’t willing to even click a simple link and check the dateline at the very top of the article (no readin’ and wrytin’ and all that liberal elitist stuff required) then they couldn’t reasonably be expected to do about 120 seconds of online research and see the real history behind the program. Saying that a program that the First lady had helped develop years before, and to help a suffering community deal with the lack of care for the poor, is somehow related to misappropriation and/or abuse long after she left her position as evidence of HER personal wrongdoing, or HER OR HER HUSBAND’S ability to manage a health-related program, is so obviously intellectually dishonest that you would have to be certifiably \developmentally challenged\ (you’d probably just call them \retards\…. again, as long as you’re hording up in a hole with your like-minded reactionaries and not in polite society) to not see it for the Goebbels-like propaganda that it is.
Tell Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhart that just because you wait nearly two months to the day to re-release previously debunked lies (they first tried floating this particularly turd on 7/2//09) and get Machiavellian Malkin to do the re-floating, doesn’t mean those of us who actually read won’t remember. This is why you and your ilk deserve to be associated with Goebbels, and it isn’t \bashing\ or \hating\ you… like him, you believe if you just repeat LIES often enough, the sheep will fall right in step with you.

Wow. You really spewed like a drunken sailor here. Must ask… did you hold back on ANY of your uncontrolled, frothing hate? C’mon, John, I’m just not sure how you feel about conservative Americans. LOL
I stand behind what I wrote and reported. And no, the “F-word” that you childish statists enjoy using, at least here, rhymes with “truck.” When in doubt, or when faced with logic, you either call a conservative a racist or use the “truck you” phrase, right? Easier than actually thinking… calling people “fags” is a liberal tactic. Case in point, liberal darling Perez Hilton calling Will.I.Am a fag recently. My conservative gay friends would laugh in your face for that one.
Where to start? You’re really all over the road here. Focus, John, you need to focus. And you need to turn that “raging hate switch” down a lot.
Journalist Michelle Malkin has been maligned by far smarter, far more powerful liberals than you, John. But she seeks the truth, and has even reported on Republicans’ (gasp!) wrongdoings or judgment errors (how many left-wing extremist journalists have done that in the past 20 years?). She does not clam up when it’s a member of the GOP who is an adulterer or an embezzler or a corrupt politician. She even has written a hefty number of pieces against George W. Bush, Michael Steele, and members of the Bush administration (I know you didn’t know that).
It would be SO refreshing if the clueless left-wing news media — Katie Couric or Matt Lauer or Brian Williams or Charlie Gibson — or any other leftist media person would try to devote 1/100 of their time BEING JOURNALISTS… investigating corruption in their own political party rather than hammering away at and attacking Sarah Palin or Rep. Joe Wilson for impetuously bursting out with “You lie”. But that would require journalistic integrity and lack of bias. And that’s at an all-time low these days.
Malkin’s new bestselling book exposes the corruption of this administration and her research and sources are impeccable. Her sources are well documented, and yours frankly are just freaky rants. Previous books of hers exposed corruption in the Republican party/Bush administration (I know you didn’t know that). Were those lies, too, John, or is it just what she discovers about Democrats? Calling her a liar, calling me a liar, calling Sean Hannity a liar, calling millions of conservatives liars… well, John, you’re wrong. You’ll believe what you want, but you’re unequivocally wrong.
Calling Malkin names (you obviously have a lot of rage issues here) doesn’t change the truth. Your alliterative term of “Machiavellian Malkin” was a hoot, and kudos for spelling it correctly. But you used it incorrectly when you applied it to Malkin. That’s OK, John… I understand that extremist liberals are always angry… always spewing… always angst-ridden. Why else would you spend so much time on a beautiful Saturday to write so much ignorant, hate-filled rambling nonsense on a conservative blog? Maybe it’s therapeutic for you?
Our president is a Democrat. Our Senate is a Democrat majority. Our House of Representatives is a Democrat majority. You should be happy, John. You should be ignoring what I say or think, or Rush or Michelle or Sean says or thinks. Because as far as elected officials go, you and your party are calling the shots. Why are you even bothering to post this? Why do you feel so threatened? You should be having fun today, instead of working yourself up over a story I posted months ago. I think a small part of you is afraid. Afraid that Malkin is RIGHT.
Without a doubt, Malkin’s investigative tenacity and documented resources drive liberals insane. She receives frequent racist attacks and death threats for her reports of Democrat corruption.
Zoom in now to this week: As it’s been revealed, the MSM has flagrantly ignored the recent, exploding ACORN child prostitution/income tax evasion scandal, much to their growing embarrassment. The “Scoop of the Year,” and the “Obama Media” has done nothing. Nothing. If you rely on ABC, CBS or MSNBC for network news, you would know absolutely nothing about it. Media bias, media concealment. Left-wing ostriches with their heads plunged into the sand.
Malkin has been researching and exposing ACORN’s corruption for years. Until this week, with the shocking release of those damning videos that undercover journalists James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles made, anyone who said that ACORN was corrupt was attacked viciously by liberals, just like you are doing now here. The only TV news source that has covered this story was FOX – most of the major left-wing newspapers have also chosen to not cover it, much to their chagrin as they are now having to answer to their readers for their bias. FOX is the only news station that isn’t in the tank with Obama and the weasels in Washington. The others are losing viewers by the boatloads because their hypocrisy has been revealed time and time again. Most recently, with this ACORN child prostitution story.
John, face it. You have no proof that Malkin’s research is flawed or in error on the patient dumping scam. You choose to use the LACK of mainstream media’s coverage as your weak proof. That is laughable, logically erroneous, and sadly ignorant.
This week, with overwhelming, indisputable evidence about ACORN’s corruption, state and federal investigations are starting against ACORN. Congress has voted to withdraw taxpayer funding for ACORN. Two weeks ago, we had not seen these tapes, and Malkin, despite her overwhelming evidence on other ACORN corruption, would have been attacked by you and your ignorant kind just like you’re doing here now if she had written such a story. Even with exposing five ACORN offices in the O’Keefe-Giles videos, there are still zombie, Kool-aid drinking Obama-bots who have refused to accept what their own eyes see. Delusional morons, dumb Obama sheep.
Malkin has been a leader in exposing many corrupt elements of ACORN (see links through out this blog, or be brave, make an effort to educate yourself, and read her findings on her site), but she was ignored and attacked by the mainstream media who were more interested in whitewashing the Obama administration and closing their eyes to the truth rather than investigating and exposing the truth.
Why do liberals, not just the liberal media, work so zealously to cover up the wrongdoings of their party? Why do people like you scream like spoiled toddlers if anyone produces proof of Democrat/Obama wrongdoing? O’Keefe and Giles have been bloodthirstily attacked by ACORN, by liberal columnists and bloggers; in the only story I know of that was covered on this ACORN teen prostitution sting by CNN, the story was twisted to make THEM seem like the criminals and ACORN the bizarre, sad victim. However, with more incriminating videos being released, this hateful liberal rhetoric (as you put it, “Goebbels-like propaganda,” but it’s from you liberals) has quickly quieted down… yeah, because the truth can be railed against only for so long until the screamers look like cornered fools.
Only Jon Stewart has been bold enough to take the media to task for blowing this huge story off. They’ve blown off the Communist/radical/9-11 Truther Van Jones scandal recently too, for similar reasons. I’d bet a week’s salary they’ve done the same with the patient dumping investigation… after all, it’s the “Chicago way.”
Give it time, John, give it time… pulling back the curtains and letting sunlight in is the best disinfectant for corruption, whether it’s a Democrat or a Republican. As I’ve written before, there is corruption on BOTH sides of the political fence. I believe you’re going to be eating your words before too long on this Chicago hospital issue, and then, you’ll scoot away like a loyal statist rodent and find something else to attack. No apology necessary, John… I know you’d never give it.
I hold Malkin’s integrity and investigation skills in high esteem. I believe she is right about the Chicago patient dumping, but liberals like you would rather attack her and other conservatives than to review her evidence on patient dumping. Liberals can’t be objective, EVER. Entertaining the idea that a Democrat could indeed be corrupt or have self-serving motives or be possessed by greed frightens and/or angers libs… if it didn’t, why do they rant and name-call with so much false bravado, like you did here? Emotional vomiting.
The MSM is now the “fringe media”, becoming more irrelevant by the day. With Malkin’s book STILL at the top of the New York Times bestseller’s list, more people, including a handful of journalists and law enforcement, are waking up and will be looking into more of the shady doings of the Obamas’ past and present. Perhaps another young conservative journalist will present an expose’ into something that the media has ignored, such as this patient dumping story, and the curtain will finally be pulled back. Time will tell.
Your rage is amusing. Your information is wrong. Your hate is pitiable.
No need to write back, because I won’t post it. Just being fair to let you know that in advance. Your unfocused rage amused me, which is why out of the scores of hate comments I get and delete each week, you were the lucky “winner” to be posted. But your time is up and I’m now bored with you… bored with your statist hate and your lack of nonpartisan reasoning.
My response isn’t intended to sway you or debate with you, because your raging, ill-informed attacks made it clear that you were looking to malign and smear me, my readers, Michelle Malkin, and all other conservatives within your first few sentences. You were disingenuous about wanting to “debate.” You wanted blood because Michelle Obama is under suspicion of wrongdoing, and there is evidence that wrongdoing has occurred.
You’re now banned from posting comments here. You broke the clearly posted rules when you attacked me, the author. If you had been civil and coherent, you would not be banned. So you have only yourself to blame (although, I know you’ll never blame yourself, because liberals are always the victims in their mind). And yeah, it’s my blog. You can make your own rules on your own blog… “freedom of speech” goes both ways, John… it’s not just for hate-driven liberal troll screamers.
Frankly, I used you as a “learning moment,” an example to arm my conservative readers with applicable knowledge on how to address and disarm ignorant liberal oafs.
Ciao.
Amen to that. Thank you for the wonderfully worded b*tch slap to John (I wonder if he is related to Bill) Ayers.
LOL – that crossed my mind, too, Brian, but I doubt it. User names are often self-creations, little microcosms of ourselves, so my guess is that he deliberately used that as his moniker.
