Ted Cruz's ride on the Obamacare train wreck

[mimi85]

I REALLY can't stand this hypocrite! As if he would ever be President.
I know there has been many other posts about this, but I particularly liked this Op-Ed from one of my fav columnists.
-------------------
When Sen. Ted Cruz, the conservative firebrand from Texas, launched his presidential campaign last week at the Rev. Jerry Falwell's Liberty University, he earned grudgingly glowing reviews from otherwise skeptical pundits. The very next day he drove straight into a pothole on his already-narrow road to the Republican nomination: Obamacare.

Obamacare was supposed to be one of Cruz's selling points. When it comes to denouncing the evils of the president's health insurance plan, Cruz takes second place to no one. Obamacare is “unconstitutional,” he says. It's “a train wreck.” And, of course, it “puts a government bureaucrat between you and your doctor.”

So, last week, when Cruz said he intended to sign his family up for health insurance coverage through Obamacare, the media had a field day.

“We'll be getting new health insurance, and we'll presumably do it through my job in the Senate, and so we'll be on the federal exchange like millions of others on the federal exchange,” he told Dana Bash of CNN. “I believe we should follow the law, even laws I disagree with,” he explained.

1. Idiot used the required law saying it was mandatory

Then said he doesn't support the IRS but still pays taxes. Ugh! I know he won't be the President ever but having him front and center everywhere is making me naucious.

2. Cruz will not get subsidies, but he would join the ACA insurance risk pool. Lower premiums....

Obamacare is working as intended, so many in the media pretending that it might not be is a criminal act of omission.
