How Special. Cruz's Wife Confirms He's Covered Under Her Blue-Chip ($20,000 a year)Health Plan

[kpete]

The wife of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who led a vocal effort to defund the Affordable Care Act, confirmed in a New York Times interview published Wednesday that the senator receives health care coverage through her blue-chip employer insurance plan.

"Ted is on my health care plan," Heidi Nelson Cruz, a Houston-based managing director for Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs, told the newspaper.

A spokeswoman for the Texas senator confirmed the coverage to the Times, which was worth at least $20,000 a year, according to Goldman.

“The senator is on his wife’s plan, which comes at no cost to the taxpayer and reflects a personal decision about what works best for their family,” spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said.

"“The senator is on his wife’s plan, which comes at no cost to the taxpayer and reflects a personal decision about what works best for their family,” spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said. "

"personal decision' personal decision' Personal decision, eh?
I might just make that same 'personal decision if I worked for fucking goldman sucks. You dick wads.
And BTW, goldman sucks costs the taxpayer billions so don't give me that crap about how it doesn't cost the tax payer.

2. I have some news for Mr Cruz. If he has insurance, he is under Obamacare.

One of the major problem with the framing and that it gives the idea that Obamacare is only for those who do not have insurance or cannot afford it.

It affects every single insurance contract.
