Contributing to the health and well being of Americans is a big deal. Affordable Care Act is designed to help. Slavery wasn't.
Dr Carson neurosurgeon is comparing slavery to the ACA. He is just one more of those nuto's and loneys, he needs a new brain!
Go figure. Anyway he is just being used by the tea party far righter's because he is black and a doctor, and he can't see that?? geez. Oh yes and Fox hired him too.
Besides that if he was still practicing as a doctor he may have to quit over charging for his services.
I wish we had the ACA in 2005 when hubby retired at 62 and we had to continue health care insurance costing $900 (out of pocket) a month for 3 yrs. until his medicare started at 65. We were afraid to drop existing insurance and we could not get a lesser plan with BCBS in fear of not getting coverage because of my pre-existing cancer from 1995. We would have been turned down back then in going for another insurance.
At our age even though fairly healthy there is always the fear of the unknown critical illness.
So we were held hostage with existing insurance for $900 (that included prenatal care, btw (yea at 62 we needed that benefit! lol) so yea we were held hostage out of fear, now to me that is a type of slavery! HIP Hip Hooray for the ACA.
Lets take that out of hostage too and get our country back on track!! There is always a time for moderation's and adjustments to ACA in the future if something isn't working as planned, "but damn it, this is not the time!"
