Ben Carson: Congress Must "Surgically Excise" Obamacare

Renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson says Congress must "use the purse strings" it controls to kill Obamacare, surgically excising it from the rest of the federal budget.

"Congress has a lot of power. They have powers to propose laws, to make laws. They have the ability to decouple the healthcare bill from the rest of the budget. They can do that," Carson told "The Steve Malzberg Show" Friday on Newsmax TV.

"This is what they should be doing so the president doesn't have a political football to throw around. They need to go on offensive here; don't just always sit around and play defense. You'll never win the game that way. ... Use the purse strings to kill it," he said.

From the sounds of things me thinks Dr. Carson has political aspirations.

"Such a large percentage of your time is taken up by bureaucratic nonsense now. … What we really need to be concentrating on is, how do we return medicine to a situation where the relationship is between the healthcare provider and the patient?"

And how do we return education to a situation where the relationship is between the educator and the student?
