Default Ben Carson says get rid of Medicare

GOP Presidential candidate and ACA foe, and of course an MD has finally told us what his suggested replacement plan for the ACA as well as his solution to the health insurance maze for all of us. Get rid of everything and let each of us pay for our own health care from our savings!! Maybe Dr. Carson had a high enough income that he could self budget for both the likely and the unexpected. Next we can all save for ourselves to replace our home when it burns, and get rid of auto coverage and self cover for both repairs and any liability expenses. Yes Ben, nice to see how you understand those not in the 0.1%

Harwood: It sounds as if your preferred alternative both to Obamacare and to Medicare is a system of self-reliance in which you'd be responsible for your own care and that of members of your family.

Carson: That's how you pay for it.

Harwood: And you could replace both the Medicare system and Obamacare with that system of HSAs (health savings accounts)?

Carson: Absolutely. I think when people are able to see how much more freedom they will have, and how much more flexibility they will have, I think it's going to be a no-brainer."
It will be so nice to have the freedom to go bankrupt, and the flexibility that being catapulted into poverty will provide.
