Cruz has no patience for GOPs Obamacare-lite. Calls them out at CPAC


Posted: Feb 23, 2017

lukewarm replacement plans that would keep most of the disastrous 2009 law in place, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas called out Obamacare-lite replacement plans at the 2017 Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday. “There are some Senate Republicans who would like to keep the Obamacare taxes because they want to spend money,” the senator said in a closed-door meeting with reporters at CPAC. “That would be exceptionally foolish.” “I don’t think we should replace one 2,000-page monstrosity with another 2,000-page monstrosity,” Cruz said, in discussion of the current struggle to repeal the Affordable Care Act. “’Replace’ should not entail ‘give me an equally unsustainable government leviathan to replace the one we’ve got right now.’” At the very minimum, the Texas senator said, two of the biggest requirements for an eventual plan are opening up the insurance market across state lines and expanding health savings accounts.... Regardless of the time it actually takes to repeal the onerous health care law, Sen. Ted Cruz said, “What matters is that we honor our promise and get it done.”;

Do you mean like it was - before?

We had plenty of choices before and everyone of them raised their rates way more than now. I think it was more if you raise your rates we'll raise ours.

How can people who can't afford healthcare save in a healthcare fund? Cruz is full of it and most republicans know they can not do that. This would not benefit people in the struggling class.
No, because before you could not buy insurance across - state lines. That was proposed

as a solution but the ultimate goal is govt controlled healthcare.
I just don't see where that would make - any difference - nm

Cruz Used Obamacare Supporter's Story To Try To Sep 27, 2013
After extracting information from a WSJ article about student debt, Ted Crud portrayed him on national television as a hopeless, homeless, college kid, strapped with student loan debt who is forced to sleep on his friend's couch.

Apparently, Mr Connelly didn't much appreciate being used to illustrate helplessness and hom ...

Obamacare Is Failing From Behind... His Goals For ObamacareJul 20, 2016
1) Have it collapse so that single payer can be implemented amidst the ensuing chaos. 2) Have that happen on somebody else’s watch. Obamacare was designed to fail so the Democrats could “reform” it with complete government provided socialized medicine. That is the entire purpose for it. Obamacare is designed to collapse so they can backfill the vacuum with government run socialized medicine. Eventually, everyone will be on some form of Medicare. I believe that was one of Bernie’ ...
