GOPDD: [Watch] Dr Ben Carson On Political Correctness, VA Mess Proves Obamacare Won’t Work

by Rick Wells

Dr Ben Carson addresses the forces at work trying to divide the nation with political correctness, saying that we need to get beyond listening to them and start talking to each other.

He also describes what is happening with the Veterans Administration as a “gift from God,” saying that it shows us “what happens when you take layers and layers of bureaucracy and place them between the patients and the health care provider.”

He also says, “If we can’t get it right with the relatively small number of veterans, how in the world are you going to do it with the entire population?”

Dr Carson says, “We need seriousness here, rather than just political speak, how can I look better, how can my party look better?” He says to both parties, “Stop, and think about the people. You guys are servants, you’re not rulers, so first of all, get that out of your mind. And think about what can we do with the problems that we have to solve in this nation, which are substantial, some of which threaten to actually destroy our nation, our fiscal irresponsibility.”
