But on the substance of Carsons remarks, one thing jumped out at me.
On the Affordable Care Act which Carson has on several occasions compared to slavery the famous former surgeon said he opposed any government intrusion in health care. Even if it worked, I would oppose it, Carson said of Obamacare. It doesnt.
I dont believe in taking the most important thing a person has, which is their health and their health care, and putting it in the hands of the government, he later added .
