“CBS TV News did not mention the ‘I-words’”


As far as I know, at no time during his Monday, June 15, speech to the American Medical Association, did President Obama mention those three ignored insensitive infamous “I-words” [Immigration, Illegitimacy and Illiteracy], while referring to the McAllen, Texas, medical community getting and spending an average of $15,000 per Medicare enrollee. Once again, I waited in vain for someone to mention immigration as I viewed and listened to that Monday-evening CBS Texas-border-town news story. Nor does this Rio Grande Guardian [newspaper printout] story mention the insensitive I-words. I do not know if Dr. Atul Gawande researched or referred to the I-words in his article, “The Cost Conundrum”, published by The Annals of Medicine and New Yorker Magazine. Dr. James R. Stewart did not mention the results of these three I-words and their relationship to those “unique aspects of the South Texas border region”, i.e., the degree of poverty and the number of uninsured people [citizens or illegal aliens?]. So, I guess that it depends on how we feel, whether the results of these three insensitive I-words are real.
