I really think this move by Ted is beyond their intellectual capacity. Fascinating to watch.
Media would have also freaked out had he not complied or had he done nothing at all.
“Ted Cruz does nothing, media freaks out!”
The Leftoid media hasn’t had this much fun since they pummeled Sarah Palin and her children.
Obama is NOT SIGNED UP for Obama-Care..
I think that was rather brilliant on his part. By doing that, he is mocking the law.
How many Congressmen are signed up for ObamaCare besides Ted?
I think Cruz should not have refused to take the subsidy.
When the media has a cow about the rich guy taking tax payer money to pay for his insurance,tell them yeah that’s Obamacare folks,Americans struggling to pay increased premiums under this monstrosity are paying for mine and millions of other people in my income bracket.
So until Obamacare is repealed they will continue to pay for theirs and the rich
This will be fun.
I am beginning to really like the way Cruz plays with the MSM. He is driving them insane. All he did is sign up for the Senate coverage when his wife took a leave of absence. And since she lost the family coverage, he signed up through the Senate, which is now part of Obamacare. A story made out of NOTHING. But the MSM is BORED so...
This is going to provide many angles of attack for Cruz:
It is difficult to bring a class action suit if the defendant can’t argue “standing”. Is the defendant directly effected in a negative way? Those not signed up for Obamacare have a lack of standing and and their arguments are undermined because they are not directly effected. Cruz will have Obamacare while Obama will not.
Cruz can also show how Obamacare has personally cost him more, left him with less coverage, and caused general inconvenience.
The fact that congress, staffers, Obama and his family have not signed up shows how Democrats and Republicans exempt themselves from following the law as written for the rest of the country. (through executive order this time).
Why didnt he just buy a private plan to show America that you don’t need a government agency to buy insurance? Missed opportunity.
