LOL Only in America

It is truly hysterical. And Texas no less. Poetic.

Should he take Greyhound instead of a flight as he commutes between DC and Houston to save his state some $?

Should he reduce / eliminate his staff size to save his state some $ ?
They get so much money, I don't think we need to worry if he isn't allowed to take part in the exhanges.

Or end up sleeping in his office

He is given plenty of money to pay for a private policy

If you have ever tried to defeat anything, the best way to know how to defeat it is to become part of it....know how it ticks, know what is wrong....

He's been against Congress exemptions from the getgo

He is a member of Congress himself.

Again, I am glad he signed up. He's paying out the whoozoo which assists other poor people

Obamacare is not my favorite either but it has it's good points. It would be disengenous to deny that

Again, actually listen to the video. That's a good start
Actually, he has helped deny many people the right to have any health insurance at all. And then promptly signs up for what he refuses others the right to do so?

How is he paying up the "whoozoo"? Its just an insurance plan. He isn't eligible for a subsidy. Don't know about the fed subsidized part though, he might not have a choice on that in signing up.

In any event, if he truly believes what he "preaches" he could have gone all cash.

Yeah, RIGHT.
I'm sure that's Teds' plan.


Face it, he just wants to have INSURANCE - the same insurance he wants to deny to MILLIONS of other Americans.

Your policy contract is with you...and I certainly cannot SPE-U-Late on your policy..Point is Junk Policy's were available ( and still are in some cases as link below describes) and purchased prior to ACA Rules becoming active...Maybe you should read your contract


Here..I'll help you out..This link may help you

Junk health insurance
Stingy plans may be worse than none at all
Consumer Reports magazine: March 2012

Cheap Health Insurance - Consumer Reports
snip only~~


While millions of Americans have benefited from that and other reforms, many are still prey to the kind of skimpy “junk” plans the new law was designed to eliminate. Some plans, known as mini-meds, are operated by employers and brand-name insurance companies with special dispensation from the federal government. Others, such as health discount cards and fixed benefit indemnity plans, from companies you’ve probably never heard of, are so meager that regulators don’t consider them to be health insurance at all—though that’s frequently not clear to consumers. And some of the companies operate one step ahead of the law.

So, not knowing what plan consisted of, they were called junk....

Great...that is absolutely brilliant...

If you think lefties are angry, you are quite mistaken. Ever since this came out yesterday, I've been having fun. In fact, I've apparently used up all my reps for a 24 hour period. I didn't know that was possible!
