Ben Carson Broke My Heart

Apparently he went to bed with Fox News! I saw him on Fox saying that he didn't see what the hurry was to put some kind of health care reform in place. Hello? People have been waiting for their chance to see a doctor! This is an emergency. Get a bandage on it. There will be time to improve the plan later. I had always seen Ben Carson as a caring, community-oriented person and a hero, and this makes me feel betrayed. People have had months to sound off about their healthcare reform wishes. Now it's time to get phase one up and running without delay -- without allowing the hecklers to gather strength, without giving legislators time to lose their seats, without allowing brush fires to erupt throughout the proposed legislation. Argue at length about physical therapy, not first aid. This is first aid for our country.
