Dr. Carson made the remark at the Values Voter Summit in Washington D.C. on Friday.
“It is slavery because it aims to make all of us subservient to the government,” Ben Carson explained. “It was never about health care. It was about control.”
Uh, maybe a bit of an exaggeration? Comparing a centuries old systematic oppression of an entire race of people based solely on skin color to a bill passed in an effort to get people medical coverage seems a bit of overstatement.
I'm not a fan of the Affordable Healthcare Act, the mandate portion and it's subsequent approval by the Supreme Court is just mind boggling, never mind the cost which has never been fully explained to the American people. I want it to be different, but making ridiculous exaggerations is not helpful in the least.
People would do well to truly investigate where the Great Pretender got his ideology. This isn't just a piece of legislation. It is a page right out of the communist handbook. Anyone who doubts that doesn't understand history, or politics. It isn't exaggeration, hyperbole, or fanaticism. It is an identification of his intent, what he has set out to do from the beginning.
Do you want to know why he is so adamant about not negotiating? Understand why the healthcare act is important to his agenda, which has absolutely nothing to do with taking care of poor sick people.
