Ted Cruz admits he’ll be getting insurance through Obamacare
By Erik Wemple March 24 at 5:28 PM
Here’s some interesting accountability journalism: CNN’s Dana Bash asked Sen. Ted Cruz, a freshly announced 2016 presidential candidate, how his family would get health insurance now that his wife has taken an unpaid leave from her job at Goldman Sachs. “We’ll be getting new health insurance and we’ll presumably do it through my job with the Senate, and so we’ll be on the federal exchange with millions of others on the federal exchange,” the Texas Republican told her.
Yes, there’s irony there, as Bash noted in her interview. Cruz’s statement means that he’ll be getting insurance through the Affordable Care Act, the same law he has committed himself to repealing. As CNN’s MJ Lee reported yesterday, Cruz has previously received insurance through the plan of his wife, Heidi Cruz, via Goldman Sachs, and the family will receive no benefits from the company during her leave.
In his chat with Bash, Ted Cruz noted that, even before Obamacare, federal employees “could get health insurance through their jobs.”
Next issue: Will he take the federal “subsidy” that others on Capitol Hill accept to defray their costs? asked Bash. “We will follow the text of the law,” Cruz said. “I strongly oppose the exemption that President Obama illegally put in place for members of Congress because Harry Reid and Senate Democrats didn’t want to be under the same rules as the American people.” So Bash wanted to know if Cruz would accept the “subsidy.” “I believe we should follow the text of the law,” said Cruz, repeating himself.
At that point, the CNN video cuts off. Yet Cruz exposed himself to fresh lines of inquiry with his talk of an “exemption” for Congress vis-a-vis Obamacare. The whole idea of the congressional “exemption” emerged in a Politico story from April 2013; the term suggested that lawmakers were trying to get around Obamacare’s requirement that they grab their insurance on the act’s exchanges. That wasn’t the case — lawmakers and their staffs were getting kicked off the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and onto Obamacare, period. The “exemption,” such as it was, merely sought to preserve the contribution that the federal government has historically made to employee health plans — just as private employers have done.

I am not a Cruz fan, but this is a red herring. What are his alternate choices? And he said no subsidies. What subsidies would he qualify for?

Well now you have something in common with Cruz. You both get your Health Ins. through the same source. You ought to vote for him.

As opposed to what we have now.

You don't get your HI THROUGH obamacare. That's not how it works. Obamacare is simply a set of rules.

Isn't he now getting his insurance through his employer, The US Senate?
If they are in an exchange, what choice does he have.
There are thousands of citizens doing the same thing if indeed the Company they work for is in an exchange.
My Company is not in an exchange, we still furnish our employs their insurance the same as always. But, the insurance company that writes our policy does have to follow the law in accordance with the ACA.

a red herring and an "overachiever and under-brained's" zealous attempt at a gotcha when there is no gotcha, just a ridiculous questioner
Obamacare isn't a handout to those who aren't taking any subsidy
the premiums and deductibles are designed to cover the subsidized folks and a profit for the insurance companies and who knows what else
I have a $618 a month premium for a bonze plan for just ME that has a $6,000 deductible
the premiums and deductibles have been carefully crafted to shaft americans into another tax, instead of directly taxing americans to cover the uninsured, we are forced into a high cost no pay for anything policy that does the dirty work for obama
it pays for nothing, well you can get a colonoscopy, until the first $6000 is paid
there is no hand out, its nothing really but a disguised TAX
unless something catastrophic befalls you but that's all figured in with the averages by the actuaries or whoever does that
again the dimocrat media and their associated idiots spread nonsense at a fever pitch in attempts to spread a lie about a conservative to smoke screen out anything else he may say
it doesn't matter if anything is true or not, they don't care about truth, that's not a liberal value. just keep piling on more inanities and the people will begin to believe it, well not it, because there is no it to believe, but believe ,well, that's there's something wrong with the conservative, some vague thing. there's no realness to the point but that wont stop them from advancing it
why cant you be against a law that you are subject to? is that so complicated an issue as to amaze and befuddle the liberal media?
if you don't work for a big company and you want insurance, you have to buy obamacare that's it , its that simple
that doesn't mean you like obamacare, you have no option, liberals don't like options for the rest of us
that's one reason why we hate it

He had insurance through his wife's employment at Goldman Sachs of all places. She is taking a leave of absence while he peddles himself and so the insurance went bye-bye.

What are you whining about man-lover ?
All you lefties screamed for years was, "it's the law of the land" !
So the man is following the law. What would you have him do, ignore the law like your bastard Boy King does ?
You can't have it both ways regardless of how you would like to.
