Delaying implementation of key parts of the healthcare law and losing the support of labor unions are just the beginning of trouble for Obamacare, says Dr. Ben Carson.
"It's gonna be a lot worse than this. This is the beginning of the collapse," the retired Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon said on Fox News Channel's "Your World" on Tuesday.
"Usually when you roll out a big program, you roll it out bit by bit. You determine what's working. You can change things," Carson said. "But to try to roll out something this massive without really knowing what the intricacies are is quite foolish."

Nah. He be ol’ skool.
You’ve got to pass it to find out waht’s in it, and now that you know what’s in it...
Men like this ..we need more men like this one.
The entire effort seems to be to push specific pieces of the collapse beyond certain elections.
From his lips to God’s ear!
Well, as he once said when asked how he’d “fix” Obamacare: “Just repeal it!”. And he would, too...
Problem is, he’ll never get a GOP nomination, and none of the powers-that-should-be are getting off their comfortable couches and putting a New Conservative Party together.
So, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
“The Fatal Conceit: The Errors of Socialism” - Friederich Hayek.
Hayek shows that Socialist Central Planners cannot ever have as much knowledge as individuals. Therefore, their necessarily ignorant prescriptions fail, and millions die as a result.
Socialists’ Fatal Conceit is that they think they know what is good for you better than you do.
And that will kill you.
Are you motivated yet?
OK GOP, find something to help all Americans.
Dunno what it will be.
But it should help all Americans. Besides, that will help it win votes.
:D
If you read the remainder of the article, notice that Dr Carson is in favor of Obamacare.
As it was being devised, he suggested to an operative that it be implemented bit by bit, and not in a great complicated blob.
As usual, don’t fall madly in love with someone with the first little sniff.
Dr Carson is giving a talk at Dover Downs in Delaware on 8/10 at the invitation of a local PAC and a Frederick Douglas chapter here in Delaware. We may be a blue state but we are trying to break out of the mold...
I think that they are delaying Obamacare because they haven’t gotten the vast IRS mechanisms in place yet to analyze every company and person and levy the fines.
The Republicans have now had years to prepare for the eventual collapse of Obamacare, and we can but hope and pray that they have come up with a mountain of new ideas as to how to minimize the harm to the public, while encouraging the rapid creation of private health care systems.
The most effective way of doing this will be to give citizens the ability to “opt out” of the vast majority of federal programs directed at individuals: Social Security and Medicare.
If you pay no tax in, you get no benefits. If you have already paid tax in, but wish to discontinue doing so, you will still get some benefits you paid for.
Finally, instead of the onerous “means testing” that nobody wants, if you are of means and you “opt out”, you get tax breaks worth more than receiving a pittance from the government.
Doctors should be encouraged to have private practices that take neither Medicare, Medicaid or insurance for routine care. Insurance companies should be discouraged from offering routine health care coverage, putting the emphasis on catastrophic and long term care.
So, defund it, defund the IRS (and its ability to enforce it), repeal the bill, and then go to court to demand that Obama be penalized for illegally delaying implementation.
That's a long way from saying he is in favor of Obamacare as it was passed. I have seen him speaking about it on various news programs and he is not in favor of the existing bill. As a physician, he knew that there were things about health care that needed fixing, especially frivolous malpractice law suits which was not even addressed in the bill at all.
PREDICTION:
ObamaDeathCAre will NEVER be repealed.
It will be tweaked, repaired or replaced but never repealed.
Has any of FDR`s marxist policies been repealed ?
There is no Constitutional Republic. The USA is a Socialist State.
