Well, Cruz can't complain about Obamacare anymore. Now that he's running for President, his wife is quitting her job at Gold Mansacks, which means they will no longer be covered by that criminal corporation's insurance plan. So Ted is signing up for Obamacare.
No, seriously.......
Ted Cruz to sign up for government health care
Jennifer Jacobs
Des Moines Register
March 24, 2015
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. CNN noted that Cruz, who has boasted about not needing to receive government health care benefits, would no longer be covered under his wife's health insurance plan.
Cruz confirmed that to the Register.
The exchanges became law under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. They're an online marketplace where small businesses, people who carry their own coverage, and the uninsured can buy health insurance.
The public marketplace is the only place where moderate-income Americans can obtain policies that qualify for Obamacare subsidies. (Poor people can get Medicaid, which is separate.)
Cruz, as an employee of the government, will use the exchange to choose his employer-provided insurance. Iowa U.S. 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.
Asked if it chafes at all to have to rely on Obamacare, Cruz told the Register: "Well, it is written in the law that members will be on the exchanges without subsidies just like millions of Americans so that's – I think the same rules should apply to all of us. Members of Congress should not be exempt."
But, Cruz added, he'd still like to see Obamacare repealed in its entirety.
"And I believe it will be. I believe in 2017 a new president, a Republican president will sign legislation repealing every word of it. There are a fair number of Republicans in Washington and elsewhere who have quietly and privatively given up on that fight and I have not," he said.Eat Us And Smile

I actually find Randtard kind of interesting. He helped Hairy Reid out by giving him some advice on how to get better vision back in his damaged eye. I mean the guy is playing the PR very broad or maybe he's a true medical professional that puts politics aside when medical issues present themselves. He is a worker I will say that much for him. He's also makes the effort to go into demographics that the Republican Party ignore trying to build some relations. He's trying to make the point he's going to be everyone's president more than just being another Republican but his anti-pro choice stance is going to hurt him with the general public.Last edited by Nitro Express; 03-24-2015, 06:56 PM.No!

I don't give a damn if Iran gets a nuclear weapon. Pakistan is a political basket case and nobody cares it has nukes. Hell Israel is a basket case and is rumored to have 200 of the things. If I was Iran I would want a nuclear weapon too especially with neocon retards in the US wanting to bomb me all the time.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment
