Comments on: Dr. Benjamin Carson’s Take On ObamaCare http://www.blackinformant.com/headlines/dr-benjamin-carsons-take-on-obamacare Engaging the culture by challenging the status quo Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:52:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: B.A. Adams http://www.blackinformant.com/headlines/dr-benjamin-carsons-take-on-obamacare/comment-page-1#comment-11190 B.A. Adams Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:06:40 +0000 http://www.blackinformant.com/?p=10234#comment-11190 Its good for the brotha to be well reknown in his field of work, however he is in the minority(no pun intended) when it comes to the public option aspect of the health care reform. Insurance companies NEED competition to keep the prices down and fair. As of now, the price increases simply cannot be justified, unless you include the "greed factor". I have seen my premiums rise over 75% in 3 years,with no additional services added. What occupation and in what industry does the pay of the average citizen match that type of increase? Why should the insurance industry receive as much as 33% simply for administrative costs? How much does it cost to push papers around and make decisions?

Wow, I needed to hear that particular opinion of the situation. Too bad cameraman man had a frenetic fail near the end. The whole interview was analogous to watching a kick returner running it back for 103 yards while throwing out a few stiff-arms for good measure!

I respect his opinion as a expert in the field. But the current Obamacare proposal, as you call it, is not similar to any other nations healthcare. Our system is still an employee based system, whtich is unique. That said the Max Baucus proposal is a disaster waiting to happen. Mandate everyone get care, while subsidizing those who can't afford it, while insurance companies charge what they may. How can the insurance lobby not love that idea? I do love the elimination of preexisting conditions, and customers not being dropped from their healthcare when it is most needed. This is the only thing I like in the bill. We will not get no real reform on healthcare, because the lobby is too strong. The dems are weak and divided, the Reps. are too busy saying no to everything in order to destroy Obama and seize power next year. That's america for you.....
