Cruz should introduce a law that cancels all healthcare plans to government employees, including the Congress and President, and sends them all to Obamacare. Let's see liberals vote against, and Obama vetoes this.
You mean an reasonable alternative proposed by Cruz and the GOP?
No, reasonable...as in NOT MANDATED BY OBAMACARE. See, the Democrats think Obamacare is SSSSOOOO awesome, that they exempted themselves from it. Now that Cruz has to leave the senate while running for the Presidency, he has to go into forced Obamacare...probably because he cannot get on his wife's plan at work.
Wow, way to stand on your principles there, Rafael. He exerted a lot of effort to shut down the government to try to stop the "atrocity that is Obamacare" but the minute he loses his health insurance there he is, sprinting to the exchanges to get him some of that "atrocious" health insurance.
He's openly mocking his supporters and they, like the dupes he knows them to be, eat it up. Priceless.
Hey Jude - he is following the law. Standing by his principles doesn't mean breaking the law. He leaves that to Obama and the democrats.
what i would have appreciated was for the democrats and mr bammer to have thought about those who HAD insurance back when ACA was passed and worked very hard not to HARM THEM... then work toward adding those without insurance to the list of those who did....
what we got was trading one group suffering from government over reach for another group suffering from government over reach...
They did....if you like your plan you can keep your plan PERIOD - Barack Obama (more than 40 times)...oh wait.....
In a sane world, the act of Mr. Cruz taking advantage of a law he actually shut the government down trying to kill (to the tune of $24 billion taxpayer dollars) would have the rightwingers abandoning his bid for the Oval Office in droves.
But Rightwing Land is anything but sane, as his defenders in this thread prove.
You can't make up the level of inanity displayed by the right. It simply defies belief.
A Senator cannot "shut down the government." All he did was stand up for his constituents and attempt to educate those low information watchers of MSNBC.
Tell me what you suffered from the government shut down? Other than those vindictive steps taken by the Cry-baby in Chief?
He is switching from an ACA compliant plan subsidized by Goldman Sachs to an ACA compliant plan subsidized by his employer, the Federal Government. Either way, he is likely paying about 15% of the cost of the premium.
Just like any other member in congress, Cruz made that point during the interview.
