Ben Carson may not have a hand in Donald Trump’s government anymore, according to reports (we still don’t believe that really), but the likelihood of him helping to dismantle Obamacare is still very real.
Make no mistake – it SHOULD be dismantled. Obamacare is the single biggest healthcare failure this country has ever seen. It’s given mandated coverage to people who have to choose between providing food for their families or paying for medical coverage. It’s an insane system that needs to be repealed and replaced with something that puts the decision in the hands of the people, not Washington bureaucrats.
So when one of its architects, Ezekiel Emanuel, went on live TV to argue with Tucker Carlson about it, Carlson shut up him up and proved him wrong on every single point.
Obamacare is a sham and here’s the proof.

Tucker Carlson interviewed Ezekiel Emanuel on his new primetime Fox News show Tuesday night, an interview the Obamacare architect probably wishes he skipped.
Carlson, who co-founded The Daily Caller, opened by noting “Obamacare is the biggest piece of social reorganization passed in [his] lifetime, and yet it has never, as far as I know, received majority support.”
“Let me answer the question, please. A little respect. The only provision that scores under 50 percent is the mandate, and people haven’t understood that if you want no pre-existing disease, condition, exclusion, you have to have a mandate. Those are inexplicably linked. The public, of course, would like their cake and eat it too, but you cannot have both of those…”

“Shouldn’t you get buy-in from the public before reorganizing their health care?” he asked.
“The public likes many of the provisions,” Emanuel responded.
“Yeah, some,” Carlson admitted.
“Wait, did you ask me a question?” Emanuel hostilely shot back at the Fox News host. “Let me answer the question, please. A little respect. The only provision that scores under 50 percent is the mandate, and people haven’t understood that if you want no pre-existing disease, condition, exclusion, you have to have a mandate. Those are inexplicably linked. The public, of course, would like their cake and eat it too, but you cannot have both of those…”
“Before you continue to patronize the public, let me just make something clear,” cut in Carlson. “The poorest section of our population is young people. In fact, this generation is the poorest generation of its age in three generations. They’re the poorest, and yet we’re forcing them to buy into the system to subsidize the health care of the old and the sick, who are also the richest section of our population. Why is that fair and why would you expect them to like it?”
BOOM! Exactly! That is an bass-ackwards system.
“Nobody believes you, doctor. We all watched this happen, and I’m sorry, you would have much more credibility if you would just say, we were kinda wrong about some things. … This is sad, and I would expect more from someone who is a eminent doctor.”
Wow. That’s cold. But I absolutely love it. And that’s the way these liberals operate. I always has. They tell you one thing, then rip the rug out from under you and tell you or do something the exact opposite.
We were lied to, just like so many other things the liberals have done these past 8 years. Thankfully, that’ll all come to an end very very soon.
