” the evil of the authorities of the Department Of Justice has been to manufacture a pretext in order to undermine then attack and criminalize our knowledge and training of medical,… Our Father asks only good works of us, but this God who is so good orders us learned souls to take a stance, to fight, and he will direct our hands; he will aid us to throw away the image of the enemies who thirst for our tears a the images of helplessness and inferiority, listen to the voice of liberty which speaks in the heart of all of us.”

“Shocking Allegations and Legal Consequences: Blue Cross Blue Shield Faces Dual Controversies”
In an unprecedented turn of events, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in collaboration with the Office of Inspector General, has conceded to the existence of racial and religious discrimination perpetuated by Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) against physicians of color and Jewish practitioners. This unsettling revelation exposes a disturbing pattern where BCBS allegedly reported and referred physicians from these communities to law enforcement, leading to criminal prosecution and restitution.
COURT UPHOLDS SETTLEMENT BLUE CROSS
The Office of Inspector General has confirmed that an astonishing 33,000 physicians have been under investigation as a result of referrals by BCBS. Simultaneously, an 11th Circuit panel in Atlanta has upheld a class action settlement in a colossal $2.7 billion antitrust case against the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA).
This landmark decision means that long-awaited benefits will finally be distributed to the subscribers who initiated legal proceedings against BCBS over a decade ago. The District Court handed down its decision in August 2022, bringing an end to claims that BCBSA violated antitrust laws by colluding with its member companies to stifle competition and limit the sale of health insurance.
On the heels of this legal victory, BCBSA continues to staunchly deny all allegations of wrongdoing. In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs accused the health insurer of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act by allegedly restricting competition among its 36 insurer companies, resulting in increased prices for members.
However, the Circuit Court has offered a counter-narrative, asserting that the appeal’s outcome does not hinder public enforcement of antitrust laws, nor does it prevent the federal government from pursuing criminal charges or civil claims against the insurer.
This dual controversy surrounding BCBS underscores the complexity and far-reaching consequences of corporate actions within the healthcare industry. While acknowledging discrimination against physicians is a critical step towards accountability and reform, the antitrust case’s resolution prompts broader discussions about the need for transparency and fair competition within the health insurance sector.
As these revelations unfold, it becomes imperative to closely monitor how the legal landscape adapts and how the healthcare industry responds to ensure a fair and just system for healthcare professionals and their subscribers.
The intersection of discrimination, antitrust violations, and the broader implications for the healthcare landscape requires careful examination and continued scrutiny.
THIRD PARTY PAYERS AND STATE SANCTIONED REGULATORY RACISM ARE BOTH TOLERATED AND EXPECTED, “THATS JUST HOW IT IS!!!”
“The allegations more than suggest that Blue Cross Blue Shield has been reporting and referring physicians from these communities to law enforcement for criminal prosecution and restitution.”
“Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Acknowledges Discrimination: Blue Cross Blue Shield Under Scrutiny”
In a shocking revelation, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in conjunction with the Office of Inspector General, has officially acknowledged instances of racial and religious discrimination within the healthcare sector. Blue Cross Blue Shield, a prominent health insurance provider, has been implicated in a series of discriminatory actions against physicians of color and Jewish practitioners.
The allegations suggest that Blue Cross Blue Shield has been reporting and referring physicians from these communities to law enforcement for criminal prosecution and restitution. This revelation comes as a significant blow to the reputation of the healthcare giant, sparking concerns about the systemic discrimination healthcare professionals face.
The Office of Inspector General has disclosed that approximately 33,000 physicians have been subject to investigation based on referrals from Blue Cross Blue Shield. The scale of these actions underscores the urgent need for a thorough examination of the processes and policies that allowed such discrimination to persist within the healthcare system.
Racial and religious discrimination within the medical profession not only undermines the principles of equality and justice but also jeopardizes patient care. The trust between physicians and their patients is integral to the functioning of a healthcare system, and any breach of that trust has far-reaching consequences.

Bone fractures & dislocations, nerve compressions, inflammations, & variety of causes can cause pain. Doctors no longer bother taking X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, or biomarkers to determine the cause but blame patients for their pain as if it’s psychological, only needing therapy. The truth doesn’t mean anything; it’s turning people what you try to make people into what you believe. People only repeat what they hear, believing what they have heard is the gospel.

Suppose we are to get to the bottom of regulatory, prosecutorial court corruption. In that case, our community needs to bring transparency to nameless, unidentifiable donors, the influence of #darkmoney on the practice of medicine, & the pay 💰 off to said anonymous donors. Just sayin. Circa 2020

So, I would like to take the opportunity here to state my personal opinion about what needs to be done to stop these outrageous attacks.
US Attorney Matthew Schneider’s statement would be more realistic if he said, “Government officials who prey on caring doctors in order to line their pockets is particularly egregious.
What is especially egregious is the fact that the government can lie, spread propaganda, spout numbers that just by the amount-prejudice the jury pool, make exaggerated statements that alter the actual facts, raid offices without just cause, violate our 4th, 5th, and 14th
Amendment rights destroy our lives, our profession, our ability to make a living and not spend the rest of our lives in prison. “IN THE CASE OF PRONTO PHARMACY VS THE DEA, IT FINALLY COMES DOWN TO RACE POLITICS AND THE PRACTICE OF PHARMACY;We waste history, Harvey Kaye.”
THE Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Office of Inspector General FAILURE TO ACKNOWLEDGE DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Office of Inspector General have taken a significant step in acknowledging these discriminatory practices. The focus now turns to addressing the root causes, holding those responsible accountable, and implementing reforms to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
Physicians, especially those from marginalized communities, play a crucial role in delivering healthcare services. Any discrimination against them not only impacts their professional lives but also has a cascading effect on patient outcomes and the overall quality of healthcare.
This revelation should prompt a broader conversation about diversity, equity, and inclusion within the healthcare industry. Institutions must actively work towards creating an environment that fosters diversity and ensures equal opportunities for all healthcare professionals.
As investigations into these discriminatory practices unfold, the healthcare community, policymakers, and the public at large must remain vigilant.
It is crucial to ensure that steps are taken to rectify the wrongs committed and to build a healthcare system that is truly just, equitable, and inclusive. The acknowledgment by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Office of Inspector General is a step in the right direction, but there is much work to be done to rebuild trust and rectify the systemic issues that allowed such discrimination to persist.
