Dr. Carson: Obamacare The Worst Thing That Has Happened Since Slavery

[ChezC3]

Dr. Ben Carson slammed President Barack Obama’s signature health care during his speech at the Value Voter’s Summit Friday.

“Obamacare is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery,” Carson declared. “It is slavery in a way because it is making all of us subservient to the government.”

Yes, it is that bad...

I bet his mommy was basically Hitler for giving him a bed time, too.

Well thought and very well put...oops, wrong, my bad.

Best things about Dr. Carson are that he is super articulate, he is absolutely fearless, he cannot be called a racist credibly and he is, in fact, an actual brain surgeon...so his intellectual abilities are beyond question.

His intellectual abilities pertaining to medicine are beyond question. His political philosophy thus far has proven to be absolutely cartoonish. Not all who are successful in other venues have a firm grasp on political or historical reality. Donald Trump immediately comes to mind.

Yes, it is that bad...

I agree. Before 2009 I never had to pay taxes, or pull my car over if a police officer turned on his siren behind me, I never needed permits or licenses for anything...I could do anything I wanted. I was free.

Then Obamacare happened.

I think he might know a thing or two about health care at the very least...far more than the O' so stupid One...

The hell does racism have to do with anything?

Anyway, yes, he is a brain surgeon. Kudos to him on that. But it's compartmentalized intelligence that allows highly educated people in one area to do or say extremely stupid things in other areas. There are many fantastically intelligent members on this forum who regularly go full retard when they leave the topic of their expertise. A brain surgeon comparing the health care act to the brutal enslavement of an entire race is a good example of phenomenon.

Well, I guess one could say institutionalization may very well have its benefits, eh?

I don't doubt he has some working knowledge in the field of Health Care. This does not however lend any more credibility to his statement. Eugenics, Internment camps, The period preceding and treatment of Civil Rights Activists, and foreign strikes on American soil all could and should take the cake over the ACA, no matter your Political affiliation.

I'll take the responsibility for MY family's health care needs and pass on paying for anyone else's.

Simple concept, wouldn't you say?

Ahh...you are not on this side and have to tip toe around the fact that if folks on this side criticize the president...well, that is just out and out racist talk...silly, as any sane and logical person would agree, so criticise your own side for being silly why don't you, at least once in a while for gods sake.

Carson knows this is just the first step...just like in Africa where Africans captured their fellows. We have now been ensnared, next step is single payer [ government pays ]...that, my fellow citizen, is socialism. Comrade, then you have government in control, complete control, of our health care.... that means complete control of health outside of those lucky ones never needing any care [ and who might that be?]. Then the government has control of our bodies, our records [ why would we want that even?]... they get to make the decisions as to what medical care and treatment one gets or does not get...

But I am supposing, since you appear clueless about it, you didn't read the brief article?

Are you already covered by a health plan, either through your work or what you've purchased privately?

Funny you should mention all those other evil acts/plans all by the Democratic Party side of the equation...now we have another one to contend with... should we not look at our history and find at least a little pause before we jump into the jaws of another bad policy?

Actually I did read it. It was, unsurprisingly, a mere extension of the title. In other words, more hyperbole and ridiculousness. I say it's unsurprising because I'm old enough and experienced enough to know that when the title of an article/thread is flame bait or hysterical hyperbole nothing educational lies therein.

Those pictures aren't of Obamacare?

I know its difficult to tell the difference but if you look closely you'll see all the smiling happy faces of free men who don't have to worry about socialized medicine taking their non-existent paychecks.

What did you choose to do that enabled you to make enough money you were required to pay taxes?

What kind of laws did you choose to break to require the cops to pull you over?

What did you choose to do that required a permit or license?

You were free. Now with Obamadon'tcare, it's impossible.

Why do people hang to the misstatements of a doctor of a certain political lean. Not being a full time politician he is not learned in the skills of artfully lying to us.

Well if you're going to go down that particular road then you arguably still have the choice of not making enough money to pay the mandate. You can just stop working and receive free health insurance.

How so?

Heck no. It's a line of people that had little chance of taking care of themselves thanks to FDR's government programs.

From the article: “Vladimir Lenin, one of the fathers of socialism and communism, said that socialized medicine is the keystone to the establishment of a socialist state,”...

"The goal of socialism is communism."
Vladimir Lenin

Do we know communism, in the real world and outside of just theory, to be anything but slavery?

 

[ItAin'tFree]

In which case you will still fall under the requirements of Obamadon'tcare. You have to toe their line regardless.
