From today's prayer breakfast attended by

DR. CARSON: Here's my solution (to Obamacare): When a person is born, give him a birth certificate, an electronic medical record, and a health savings account (HSA) to which money can be contributed -- pretax -- from the time you're born 'til the time you die. When you die, you can pass it on to your family members, so that when you're 85 years old and you got six diseases, you're not trying to spend up everything. You're happy to pass it on and there's nobody talking about death panels. AUDIENCE: (laughter and applause) CARSON: Number one. And also, for the people who were indigent who don't have any money, we can make contributions to their HSA each month because we already have this huge pot of money. Instead of sending it to some bureaucracy, let's put it in their HSAs. Now they have some control over their own health care. Though he was sleepy, Obama actually perked up during Carson's speech. ;
