In fact, Carson said, “in a way, it is slavery, because it is making all of us subservient to the government.” He went to explain that the Affordable Care Act “was never about health care, it was about control.”
A federal mandate is more like economic slavery (mandate = force), but not race-based slavery like we had in America.
It is about control. The person who wrote ACA is Liz Fowler the VP of WellPoint, the 2nd largest healthcare provider in America. You know it's bad when the lobbyist write the actual laws in America. They more or less control the market now through the artificial exchanges the ACA created.
Its obvious he has sold his soul to the man for riches on some c00n shyt, and it honestly hurts me.
Dr. Ben Carson is a supporter of the Health Savings model, which has been implemented in Singapore. Singapore happens to be in the top 3 countries that provide the best healthcare in the world, #1 is Hong Kong which is considered the friendliest free-market capitalist society in the world, and #3 is Japan.
People are pissed because Dr. Ben Carson is on Fox News, but if MSNBC is so progressive, then why didn't they offer him a contract? I guess supporting a top rated health care model over a health care model created by the big HMOs is.... progressive?
This dude @
DEAD7 is the type of libertarian that would probably compare taxation to slavery.....
It's economic slavery, especially for those who are now paying in the 25% bracket or higher.
America was founded as a republic. There was no 16th amendment for 124 years until a certain bank came on the scene.
One of the greatest tricks the GOP has pulled in the past few years is this charade where they make accomplished minorities think that they are on equal footing with them.
Dr. Ben Carson didn't go on Fox News for approval, he went on it because the health care model he supports wasn't in the best interest of big HMOs. I loved that he sonned Obama at that dinner they had on TV. Besides, what does Obama know about running a medical practice or the costs associated with it, he's a lawyer not a doctor.
Besides, ACA was written by a VP of the 2nd biggest HMO. It's going to be awful because health services will be rationed for poor people on the lower tiered plans (e.g.: bronze plan). It's not even going to be affordable because healthy people will be forced to subsidize the costs of bringing in hundreds of thousands of people with pre-existing conditions.
It's like watching DMX on crack in 2013
That pretty much sums up federal gov't spending in the last 13 years.
You're a pretty educated guy, do you think affordable health care and greater access to insurance is commonly known as extreme or cruel?
It's cruel if you force people into doing anything against their will.
