Ben Carson Attacks Obamacare, Pledges to Campaign Against It

Dr. Ben Carson continued his efforts against President Barack Obamas federal health-care law on Thursday as he rallied conservatives against it. Currently chairing the Save Our Healthcare Project from American Legacy PAC, Carson has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.

Carson burst onto the political scene last year when he denounced the law at the National Prayer Breakfast. He weighed in on that experience and attacked the law in an email to conservatives on Thursday.

When I spoke just a few feet away from President Obama about the dangers of political correctness at last years National Prayer Breakfast, many were surprised, Carson wrote. After all, my background is medicine, not politics. But it doesnt take a brain surgeon like me to see that Obamacare isnt working for all Americans. Dropped coverage, failing websites, skyrocketing premiums -- the list goes on and on.

I wish I could snap my fingers and make Obamacare disappear tomorrow, but we both know that wont happen, Carson continued before praising his current project as a 'national citizens effort to hold Washington accountable, recenter the health care debate around doctors and patients, and begin to answer the question of Whats next? -- because real reform is absolutely vital.

Carson promised to be active on the campaign trail in the 2014 election cycle. It is our goal to recruit every American that believes we can do better than Obamacare, and make sure that our message is received loud and clear by every elected official and candidate in 2014, Carson insisted.
