I really think this move by Ted is beyond their intellectual capacity. Fascinating to watch.
Brilliant! He must do it by law. And he can show how pathetic O’care is by posting a diary of his daily experiences with this idiotic legislation.
Yeah. He’s several steps ahead of them and they aren’t smart enough to figure it out.
The surest way to demonstrate how a bad law has serious flaws and inconsistencies, is to fully implement its provisions, just as they are written. I am sure that Ted Cruz is well aware of the deficiencies and inadequacies as written into the law, but the law also says he has to enroll.
The probability, no, the certainty, that the Family Cruz shall not actually USE the “benefits” provided under the policy that he shall be issued, but probably end up paying out of pocket for ALL of medical expenses, brings up the absolute futility of trying to make a real insurance policy out of this scheme. It is a wealth transfer device, and NOBODY actually ends up claiming benefits.
A Major Medical insurance policy, and a Health Savings Account, would provide vastly more coverage, at less out-of-pocket cost, for almost all of US citizens, cheaper, and tailored to the specific needs for the individual families.
The few that remain, that have neither taken care of their insurance coverage needs, nor chosen to forgo coverage altogether, could then apply for a welfare benefit to cover extraordinary medical costs, and a special supplementary appropriation made to cover these improvident souls.
