Persolvo Ludo, the Obamas and UCMC.

[1480]

Some here will say bunk, but I present a few articles that may provoke a bit of debate amongst the members here:

She hasn’t shown up for work very regularly over the last year or so, so when Michelle Obama’s $300,000 job was cut at the University of Chicago Hospitals, it may have been hard to notice the difference. Crain’s skipped the part about the incoming First Lady, must have been an oversight in their expert analysis of Chicago Business, because we know Crain’s is “Not show business. All business”.

It's a position she won't find unfamiliar: Sher is general counsel and a vice president at the University of Chicago Medical Center and has been a close friend and mentor to Michelle Obama for many years. They also both worked on medical center initiatives that have become the focus of a Senate Republican's inquiry into whether the nonprofit hospital has been "culling the least profitable patients from its emergency room."

The medical center's chairwoman, Valerie Jarrett, is a close friend and top adviser who travels frequently with Barack Obama. One of Barack's best friends, Eric Whitaker, is executive vice president at the center and is now in charge of the Urban Health Initiative. Hospital board member Kelly R. Welsh is executive vice president at Northern Trust Co., which extended the couple a $1.3 million home mortgage shortly after Barack Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate. Dan Shomon, Barack Obama's former campaign manager, is a university lobbyist. Jarrett, Whitaker, Welsh and Shomon all declined to be interviewed or did not respond to requests.

I don't really see the problem here 1480. Un or under-insured people tying up emergency room services so they can get non-emergency care for free is a big drain on a hospital's resources.

I agree one hundred percent with you on that, its the underlying "pay to play" system that all gets connected to our soon to be POTUS....

Pay to play? That sounds so familiar...:hmm: Rocky Mcbee sent his application in for the BO admin. Minister of Pooch Affairs, but apperently 4 milkbones and a used chew toy weren't enough to get into the in-coming admin. Maybe I could write blago... wait you hafta pay to get his attention too... nevermind.
