And Obama is forced to listen.
Famous John Hopkins neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson, Feb. 7.
This was the lead story on Drudge this morning. It's a long clip but worth it. It's about much more than Obamacare - deficit, taxes, the danger of political correctness, 'We are Rome 2.0', etc.
A truly outstanding speech.
Seated in view to his right are Senator Jeff Sessions and the President. One doesn't look happy. You know something's coming when Carson says, "It's not my intention to offend anyone. But it's hard not to. The PC police are out in force everywhere."

Tax-free Health Savings Accounts for every American at birth.
"Here's my solution: When a person is born, give him a birth certificate, an electronic medical record, and a health savings account to which money can be contributed -- pretax -- from the time you're born 'til the time you die. When you die, you can pass it on to your family members, so that when you're 85 years old and you got six diseases, you're not trying to spend up everything. You're happy to pass it on and there's nobody talking about death panels.
And also, for the people who were indigent who don't have any money we can make contributions to their HSA each month because we already have this huge pot of money. Instead of sending it to some bureaucracy, let's put it in their HSAs. Now they have some control over their own health care."
