Cruz to buy Obamacare through his employer “with my own funds for my family like millions of Americans.”

 Liberals bitterly opposed the Bush tax cuts; did they willingly accept the benefits of them?


On Politics   "Ted Cruz, one of the loudest critics of Obamacare, will soon be using it for health insurance coverage.*

“ 'We will presumably go on the exchange and sign up for health care, and we’re in the process of transitioning over to do that,” Cruz, a Republican candidate for president, told The Des Moines Register Tuesday.

"Cruz’s wife, Heidi, is going on an unpaid leave of up absence from her job at Goldman Sachs to join Cruz full time on the campaign trail, Cruz told the Register.

"Bloomberg was first to report that Heidi Cruz has taken the leave, which means Cruz, who has boasted about not needing to receive government health care benefits, will no longer be covered under his wife’s health insurance plan." . . .

*Cruz, as an employee of the government, will use the exchange to choose his employer-provided insurance. Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley pushed through an amendment on the Affordable Care Act that requires members of Congress to obtain their coverage via the exchanges. Congress pays most of the premium. But Cruz won’t be getting any extra benefit under the Affordable Care Act that a member of Congress wouldn’t have gotten before the ACA became law.

PJ Media  . .  . “Deeply ironic?” Please explain how, dear liberal hacks at CNN. He explains that he believes in obeying the law even when he disagrees with it. That’s not “ironic,” that’s a man living by his beliefs.
"Besides, unlike some in Congress — who exempted themselves from Obama’s horrendous health plan despite having voted for it — he shows that he’s actually willing to live a life similar to that of most Americans. He fights to ease their burden of a horrendous health plan — but as long as they have to live with it, so will he.
"It’s not that difficult to comprehend, but CNN’s leftist propagandists are having none of it. It’s way too much fun to “freeze” Cruz, “isolate” him, and “polarize” him. Just like Saul Alinsky taught."

 

 We All Live Under Obamacare   "Significantly, the law requires businesses that employ 50 or more people to provide coverage for their workers. Lawmakers and staff had already been receiving health coverage through their employer (the U.S. government), and were not going to ever be “exempt” from Obamacare, since everyone is subject to the Affordable Care Act. It’s just not that impactful on someone already getting employer-subsidized insurance."
