Good morning citizens. Really interesting article in the Chicago Tribune today, about the University of Chicago Medical Center. That is where Michelle Obama held a position.
It is a tax exempt facility that has an agressive program to divert many ER walk ins to other hospitals. They are being criticised for dumping.
The Tribune now says that the program is to get higher revenue planned hospitalisations & that the First Lady was ‘Involved” during her employment.
A couple of years ago, before the Tribune fell in love with the Obama’s, they reported that Michelle Obama ‘“Headed” the program to divert “Indigent” patients.

Michelle received a $$$200,000+ pay raise when she was handed that plum job right after Obama won his Illinois senate seat.
