Dr. Carson: Obamacare The Worst Thing That Has Happened Since Slavery

Really? Cuz, you said this


"J, you have to pay at doctors offices. I'm sorry, but people are not walking of the street and getting care they can't afford at doctors offices."

And I answered you...People do walk in off the street, and do get care.....:shrug:

In most cases you cannot just walk into a dr's office off the street and get care. Yes there are clinics and emergency rooms that offer walk in care, but by far the majority of Dr's offices are not taking walk ins, and with the exception of very specific clinic types, you are expected to pay.

"We're experienced, dedicated and compassionate medical professionals focused on delivering exceptional care that works around your schedule. Offering family care. Urgent care. Evenings and weekends. With or without an appointment."

No, J, that doesn't answer me. They are not all getting care. Those who can pay the fee get care. Your example was one of collecting a fee. A flat fee is still a fee.

If you can't pay the $40 to go see the doctor, then you should be on Medicaid.

No, I read it, but people that don't have a regular doctor, or insurance go to places like this, and get care.

Not necessarily. Many working poor make decisions on $40 daily. And this doesn't include medicine or treatments of anything but first steps.

If that is all they have to work with, I am positive that they qualify for assistance...So what's the problem?

You would be wrong. I spent many years not always having $40 dollars handy, let alone coughing up what came after the visit. Many working people have periods of not enough money.

Pardon me, I thought you were saying they only made $40 per day....But people that run on tough times and can't get to the doctor, do have resources available to them...Family, Church, Friends, hell, even some employers would be empathetic enough to loan the money needed to see a doctor...

So the solution is to turn 30 million into 150 million...Thanks, with help like that we don't need any destruction.

Not sure what you're talking about, but if we wanted to spend less we'd go with UHC. What we need to look at is doing this services as efficiently as possible. Just as we do with police and fire fighting.

Well, good luck with that, thanks to your cast of bumbling idiots, Obama, and gang, they have so screwed up this, that you'll be lucky if they can pass jay walking legislation in the future. Once the employer mandate kicks in and 100 million more lose their coverage...America has had enough of progressive liars, and crooks....UHC? not bloody likely once America gets the next dose of progressive force.

It's no where near as bad as you guys pretend it is. You might remember how much went wrong with Bush's roll out of Medicare part ad, and that was a smaller effort.

And frankly, I'm not sure how your accepted brand of liars is somehow better on that front. And your idiots got us into two wars among other things.

Look, one party is no better nor worse than the other. Both have crooks, liars, and any vice you want to throw out. Isn't it time we merely discussed the issues?

Hyperpartisans can't do that. Admitting that their team has faults is anathema to them.

:lamo oh yeah, that's right...The old liberal fall back...When your signature law is failing, it is somehow Bush's fault...priceless....:lamo You guy's railed on Bush for over a decade now, and funny thing is Joe, Obama's approval is the same, if not worse than Bush's....But you want the issues? Here, I'll give you a real issue...Obama's trustworthiness, and credibility is in the toilet. Everyone know what a liar he is now, and that's a real problem for you guys...So much so that his lap dog Reid had to use the nuclear option in the Senate so that Obama can pack the DC circuit court, and further his plans through the force of regulation rather than congress...Ain't it great? y'all screamed how Bush was a Fascist, and worse, yet it's your guy that is a dictator wanna be....What a joke. :roll:

I do wish you'd address what was actually said. You're so programed to argue with some liberal stereotype that you seldom actually digest what is actually written.

You see, I never called Bush a Fascist. I said he, like Obama, wasn't able to control the economy. The joke is that you can't even see the arguments actually made.
