Richard Carmona's ‘Work’ On Med Board Scrutinized
Rich Carmona’s Term On Doctor Review Board Marked By ‘Steady Stream Of Criticism,’ ‘Inadequate Investigations’
Carmona ‘Spoke Out Against’ Discipline
Doctor Operated ‘On The Wrong Patient’"...Dr. Loomis for administering anesthesia to the wrong patient and to Dr. Zerella for operating on the wrong patient.” (Arizona Board of Medical Examiners, Meeting Minutes, 2/25/2001)
Carmona ‘Spoke Out Against’ ‘Discipline’"Tim Hunter, M.D. strongly recommended discipline for both MDs... Richard Carmona, M.D. spoke out against the motion.” (Arizona Board of Medical Examiners, Meeting Minutes, 2/25/2001)
"Richard Carmona, M.D. recommended an advisory letter be given the doctors...” (Arizona Board of Medical Examiners, Meeting Minutes, 2/25/2001)
Carmona Term Saw ‘Steady Stream of Criticism’
AUDIT:"...doesn’t discipline doctors, even when its own investigators discover cases in whichdoctors violated state statutes, the audit says.” (“Medical Board Still Too Lenient,” The Arizona Republic, 10/1/99)
"...the agency has come under a steady stream of criticism from legislators, good-government groups, patients and even some doctors - all charging that the board of medical examiners, or BOMAX, has not effectively policed errant physicians.” (“BOMEX Reform Still A Bit Wobbly,” The Arizona Republic, 4/18/99)
"Even though it has been through a complete overhaul, the agency that protects Arizonans from bad doctors still is too soft on errant physicians and takes too long to handle cases, the state auditor general says.” (“Medical Board Still Too Lenient,” The Arizona Republic, 10/1/99)
"...inadequate investigations of complaints, dismissed 144 of them against doctors during a special video-conference meeting Thursday in Tucson and Tempe.” (“Medical Investigators Dismiss 144 Cases,” Tucson Citizen, 7/24/99)
Arizona Medical Association Won’t Endorse Carmona
"It goes a long way to explain why the Arizona Medical Association, of which Carmona was a board member, has failed to endorse his Senate run. When those closest to a candidate fail to endorse, it’s a signal for the rest of us.” (“Dem. Senate Candidate Carmona Failed to Keep Bad Doctors Accountable,” Breitbart News, 10/30/12)
"Dr. Carmona skipped no less than 284 votes on disciplining doctors for delivering inferior care. Worse, he completely blew off 24 meetings of the BoMEx.” (“Dem. Senate Candidate Carmona Failed to Keep Bad Doctors Accountable,” Breitbart News, 10/30/12)
"...he generally blew off this responsibility.” (“Dem. Senate Candidate Carmona Failed to Keep Bad Doctors Accountable,” Breitbart News, 10/30/12)

Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl Call New Carmona Ad"Deeply Dishonest” - AZSEN.
"It is shameful for Richard Carmona to try to deceive the voters in this way”
PHOENIX – United States Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl today released the following statement in response to a new ad from Democrat Richard Carmona that deceives Arizona voters about who they support in the Arizona Senate race:
"In a deeply dishonest new TV ad, Richard Carmona implies that we support his campaign for Senate. We do not. Mr. Carmona is committed to raising taxes and government spending, increasing our nation’s already out-of-control debt, and he supports President Obama’s health care law, Obamacare. Let’s be clear: Richard Carmona’s first vote in the Senate would be for Harry Reid and the Obama agenda. As his new ad makes clear, Mr. Carmona is also willing to say or do just about anything to promote the interests of Richard Carmona, not the interests of the people of Arizona. It is shameful for Richard Carmona to try to deceive the voters inthis way. It shows that he has no credibility, and it says everything the voters of Arizona need to know about Richard Carmona’s fitness for office. Jeff Flake is our candidate. He is a courageous, independent Arizona conservative - and he’s honest.”

New NRSC Ad Reminds Arizonans That Richard Carmona Is An Obama Rubberstamp AZSEN JustLikeObama.
Carmona Supports President Obama’s $1.76 Trillion Healthcare Law
WASHINGTON – The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) today released their latest statewide ad –"Rubberstamp” – which continues to remind voters that Richard Carmona is the only Democrat who was personally recruited by President Obama and that he supports his $1.76 trillion healthcare law.
"After being recruited by President Obama, it should come as no surprise that Democrat Richard Carmona called the President"brave” for ramming his $1.76 trillion healthcare bill through Congress,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. "In this election the choice is clear: it’s either Richard Carmona who will be a reliable vote for President Obama’s liberal agenda or Jeff Flake who will continue to fight for jobs and against wasteful spending in Washington.”
BACKGROUND....
"On September 23, President Obama called Richard Carmona to encourage him to run,” said one Democratic strategist. (Alexander Burns, Obama courts Ariz. Senate candidate, may contest state 'heavily', Politico, 10/06/11)
Carmona Said He Supported Obamacare And Said What The President Did Was Brave. QUESTION:"The affordable care act, do you support it and are there any recommendations you might make for amendment to the affordable care act . . .” CARMONA:". . . Yes, I support it however, I have spoken to the President about this, I have spoken to the senior leadership, Harry Reid, Murray, Schumer on all these issues. I think what the President did was brave to move forward with a plan to try and ensure that every American has access to a basic set of health care benefits. Clearly it is where I am, 100 percent.” (“Richard Carmona Supports Obamacare,” Arizona Democrat Party Meeting, Tucson, AZ, Youtube, 1/21/12)
Carmona Supports President Obama’s Job-Killing Healthcare Law. "Carmona served as the 17th surgeon general of the United States under President George W. Bush. Last year, he participated in series of health care town halls that the congresswoman held in Tucson, Sierra Vista and Green Valley. ‘The issue facing our country is how do we get the best care for the most people at the least cost,’ Carmona said. ‘We spend more for health care than any other nation on Earth, but the metrics of our results don’t reflect that. We need to move toward a health care system, not the sick care system that we have today. This legislation moves us closer to that. This bill is not perfect. But these are complex issues and we must move forward. And then I hope we can sit down with level heads and make it even better for the benefit of the American people.’” (“U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords Announces Support For Historic Health Insurance Reform Legislation,” Congresswoman Giffords Press Release, 3/20/10)

WASHINGTON – The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) today released their latest statewide ad –"Rubberstamp” – which continues to remind voters that Richard Carmona is the only Democrat who was personally recruited by President Obama and that he supports his $1.76 trillion healthcare law.
"After being recruited by President Obama, it should come as no surprise that Democrat Richard Carmona called the President"brave” for ramming his $1.76 trillion healthcare bill through Congress,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. "In this election the choice is clear: it’s either Richard Carmona who will be a reliable vote for President Obama’s liberal agenda or Jeff Flake who will continue to fight for jobs and against wasteful spending in Washington.”
BACKGROUND....
"On September 23, President Obama called Richard Carmona to encourage him to run,” said one Democratic strategist. (Alexander Burns, Obama courts Ariz. Senate candidate, may contest state 'heavily', Politico, 10/06/11)
Carmona Said He Supported Obamacare And Said What The President Did Was Brave. QUESTION:"The affordable care act, do you support it and are there any recommendations you might make for amendment to the affordable care act . . .” CARMONA:". . . Yes, I support it however, I have spoken to the President about this, I have spoken to the senior leadership, Harry Reid, Murray, Schumer on all these issues. I think what the President did was brave to move forward with a plan to try and ensure that every American has access to a basic set of health care benefits.

ICYMI WSJ - Jeff Flake’s Senate Race Tests the Politics of Pork AZSEN
Arizona's longtime crusader against federal spending has to resist pressure to bring home the bacon.
By Stephen Moore
The Wall Street Journal
October 20, 2012
In his razor-tight race for Arizona's open Senate seat, Republican nominee Jeff Flake-a six-term U.S. congressman-recently met behind closed doors with about a dozen leading businessmen in the state, including two powerful and respected CEOs: real-estate developer Mike Ingram and former Phoenix Suns owner Jerry Colangelo.
Both businessmen supported Mr. Flake's opponent in the Republican primary (Mr. Flake won by 40 points), and both are pushing for federal financing of a road project that would stretch from Phoenix to Las Vegas. In the western part of the state, the 300-mile highway would bisect their 34,000-acre Douglas Ranch, where they have plans to develop a luxury hotel and upscale homes. A person who attended the meeting recalls that the two asked Mr. Flake: "We need to know. Are you going to be an Arizona senator or a U.S. senator?"
I'm told that Mr. Flake responded by saying that with the country facing a $16 trillion debt, dealing with that problem was his priority.
Good answer; wrong audience. The two CEOs still haven't endorsed Mr. Flake. In an interview Mr. Ingram confirmed the meeting and explained that the business executives in the room "worry that Mr. Flake may not support business compared to [Rich] Carmona," Mr. Flake's Democratic opponent. Mr. Ingram added that Mr. Flake is too often "a no vote on many economic development issues," including "transportation bills."
Arizona's Senate contest is testing the age-old question of whether bringing home the bacon is what wins elections. Almost no one in Congress has fought for smaller government more tirelessly than Mr. Flake, who has won so many taxpayer hero awards that the trophies overflow his shelves. In the age of Barack Obama's trillion-dollar annual deficits, Mr. Flake's financial message would seem to fit the times.
By contrast, Dr. Carmona-a celebrated military veteran and Purple Heart recipient who was U.S. surgeon general under George W. Bush-defends pork projects. He said in a recent debate that earmarks "aren't all bad," describing some as "smart investments," a favorite phrase of the left these days. Mr. Flake chastised him, noting that when members of Congress spend their time chasing earmarks, they sell their souls to the appropriators who use them as safe votes for budget-busting spending bills.
Mr. Flake's anti-earmark crusading was featured on "60 Minutes" in 2006, with the Arizonan compared to Jimmy Stewart in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." When the piece aired, the GOP leadership stripped him of his slot on the Judiciary Committee for "bad behavior." Two years later, House Republicans saw the light and passed his landmark earmark moratorium.
