There are proooobably more racist conservatives than liberals but I don't think the majority of conservatives are.

Actually, liberals dislike Ben Carson because he's a loving idiot, not because he's black. Thanks for playing though, Smoothrich.

Ben Carson seems like a nice man but he is not qualified to be president and he has terrible, ill-informed ideas. He does not understand history. He'd be another Dubya.

His father put him through some very good schools, whether he chose to take advantage of the opportunity or not. It's also not quite true that he is dumb: he knew how to win elections and was somewhat cunning politically. He was just a gullible rear end and was totally unable to govern. I suspect Carson would be similar.

If he actually wins I can see the people making the important decisions wouldn't be much different from those under Jeb.

I wouldn't say GW was unable to govern; he got exactly what he wanted from America from 2001 to August 2006. For some reason there was a lot of water and his polls dropped.

And it is in a way, it is slavery in a way, because it is making all of us subservient to the government, and it was never about health care.

I'm starting to get the feeling that Dr. Carson, despite his frequent references to it, knows very little indeed about Nazi Germany and the societal factors that led to the rise of the Nazi party and the outbreak of WW2.

Alerted to this by USPOL, but posting here because Carson. Ben Carson recasts role of Saudi Arabia in hunt for Osama bin Laden Carson about to say more retarded poo poo posted:At the second Republican presidential debate, in California last month, Carson said that if George W Bush had announced a plan to end reliance on Persian Gulf oil “within five to 10 years ... moderate Arab states” spurred by the threat of the loss of a key market “would have turned over Osama bin Laden and anybody else you wanted on a silver platter in two weeks”.

Typical Carson. We should've done something, except if it didn't make sense, but he still would've done it, but it would've been something different.

Negotiate? We're the United loving States. Since when does the world's only superpower need to negotiate with anyone? Why whould we concede our god given sovereignty to anyone? If we had real leaders in this country, we wouldn't negotiate with anyone. Not foreign countries, not teachers unions, no one. We'd tell them how things are and that is how they would be.

So Dr. Ben Carson wants to eliminate Medicare and replace with with a health savings account.quote:Carson, who now leads the GOP field in Iowa according to the latest Quinnipiac Poll, would eliminate the program that provides health care to 49 million senior citizens, as well as Medicaid, and replace it with a system of cradle-to-grave savings accounts which would be funded with $2,000 a year in government contributions. While rivals have been pummeled for proposing less radical changes, Carson hasn't faced the same scrutiny -- and his continued traction in polls has left GOP strategists and conservative health care wonks scratching their heads. quote:Under the plan Carson outlined most specifically last year, the government would contribute $2,000 to each individual’s tax-free account every year, with a third of the funding earmarked for insurance to cover severe medical incidents. Individuals and employers could contribute additional funds to the accounts, and the unspent funds could be shared among family members, which Carson says "makes every family their own insurance company." Boy this sure does not sound like a lot of coverage for people who were expecting this sort of care... but wait a minute... quote:"makes every family their own insurance company." Kind of a funny point, because... quote:“People in Washington say, ‘Well, you can’t give poor people a health savings account because they’re too stupid. They won’t know what to do with it.’” Carson said at a West Des Moines, Iowa, town hall in August. “But the fact of the matter is, that is not the case.” So one of the reasons medicare works is because it can dictate costs (somewhat) to healthcare providers. Health Savings Account? Not the same kind of pull. You probably have to buy insurance after the fact. Your $2000 has a big chunk of money taken out already and on top of that, the 'savings' the government gets because they don't need to administer as much is eaten by another entity- and you get no benefit from that relationship. Carson has some other things to say about his plan quote:When people are able to see how much more freedom they will have, and how much more flexibility they will have, and how much more choice they would have, I think it's going to be a no-brainer. To be clear, Carson's plan is to get a benefit of $2,000 per year. It's pretty hypocritical on his part because he thinks on one hand, that $2,000 in an HSA is enough. On the other hand, he is also making it clear that he's aware that its going to put a 'fiduciary responsibility' (aka cut corners because you can't afford poo poo) on the citizen. Even more obvious he knows that money is poo poo when he's saying your and your family will have to give up your personal disbursement so that pops can get a tumor removed.

I think it is $2000 that can only be spent on (full price of) Doctors, device, and medicine bills. Maybe if you pay more money in it accrues interest? Does the government somehow guarantee these deposits? If there's X>2000 at the end of each year can you cash it out? It seems like an incredibly simple solution but it raises lots of questions and just seems completely unaware of the insane insurance/doctor/pharma/hospital system that dictates prices for the individual
