I seriously doubt Hillary, a multi-millionaire, is on Obamacare
No they are not. They are exempt. And with their cash they do private insurance
I cannot take it
Is Jeb Bush on Obamacare?
How about Scott Walker?
If your on it you can be in on a class action suit against it.
If Cruz had been on the former Senate policy, which he was not, then Cruz on ObamaCare is no different than anyone else who was not allowed to keep his former ‘company’ policy and had to switch to an ObamaCare policy. You can’t keep your doctor. You can’t keep your coverage.
Congresscritters should be forced to comply with every law that they impose on the rest of us.
What are the odds that Hillary is never asked by the MSM what kind of special deal she has for her healthcare insurance?
The 0bamacare Suppository should be forced on every politician, bureaucrat, and judge as long as it is “the law”.
He’s rich. I don’t know why he didn’t just go to an insurance broker and buy private insurance. It would have made a great photo-op (an American taking care of himself anf family without the government in the middle). Missed opportunity.
Mr. Cruz is really getting into liberals’ heads. That’s not hard to do, seeing as how must liberals are 50 IQ apes. I’m loving it.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
I’m not directing this critique at Cruz because he’s hopefully carefully calculating everything that he is doing as a presidential candidate. (As indicated in OP, I like that he’s essentially forcing candidates to enroll in Obamacare.)
But regarding the Obamacare insurance mandate, it turns that the Supreme Court has historically clarified that Congress’s Commerce Clause powers don’t apply to regulating insurance policies, even if such policies are negotiated across state borders. This is because such policies are contracts, not commerce.
In fact, take special note of the fourth entry about insurance in the following list of SCOTUS case excerpts. These excerpts help to substantiate that Obama is unconstitutional imo, regardless what the corrupt judicial branch wants us to believe about Obamacare.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
”4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce [emphasis added] within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract of indemnity against loss.” — Paul v. Virginia, 1869. (The corrupt feds have no Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to regulate insurance.)
“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphases added] beyond the power of Congress.” –Linder v. United States, 1925.
In fact, regardless that federal Democrats, RINOs, activist judges and indoctrinated attorneys will argue that if the Constitution doesn’t say that the feds can’t do something then they can do it, the Supreme Court has addressed that foolish idea too. Politically correct interpretations of the Constitution's Supremacy Clause (5.2) aside, the Court has clarified in broad terms that powers not delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate healthcare issues in this case, are prohibited to the feds.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Our US rep told us at a townhall that they are all on Obamacare. They get a certain amount of their premiums paid by the govt just like if you work for IBM you get a certain amoung paid by the employer. But they get the same choices as the rest of us.
Well I was out with some big libs last night. They’re off Walker for now, and focused on Cruz. Clearly agitated about his candidacy, they brought up- “too inexperienced”, “Top 1%” (wife working for GS), “Canadian born”, and “bashes Obamacare but gladly uses it”. I was clearly outnumbered, and tried to just give them the facts, but these idiots got their marching orders from CNN to destroy him. Considering he’s the only one with the balls who’s been trying to stop Obama, I say they have their work cut out for them.
