Hey, let’s pay doctors for not being racist!

Bureaucratic Book of Truth: If you have a written plan, you pass the test.

From The Daily Caller

The Biden administration is proposing bonus payments to physicians who incorporate “anti-racism” plans into their practices.

Among the proposed “Clinical Practice Improvement Activities” for calendar year 2022 by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is to “create and implement an anti-racism plan.” Completing a certain number of improvement activities helps physicians qualify for Medicare’s Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).

According to the proposal, clinics should have value statements and policies that are “aligned with a commitment to anti-racism and an understanding of race as a political and social construct, not a physiological one.” It also states that “this activity begins with the premise that it is important to acknowledge systemic racism as a root cause for differences in health outcomes between socially defined racial groups.”

So, do doctors, nurses and PAs first have to admit they are racist and then list the steps they will take in order to purify themselves? Will the medical field now identify racists and refuse treatment to those so identified?

You know there will be or are consulting firms that will make goodels of money showing medical folks how to comply and get paid. Hey, look! Here’s a plan! We will tailor this for your office/hospital/clinic!

Maybe all medical persons can take a cue from Red Green’s Possum Lodge Pledge, and change “man” to “racist?”

“I’m a racist, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.”

I would say the pay for not being racist is the dumbest move ever by the Biden administration, but – No, that is the dumbest move yet by Biden’s administration.
