Putting together the pieces: Ted Cruz has an Obamacare conflict of interest

As we learned in the last couple of days, Ted Cruz really, really hates Obamacare, so much he stood in the Senate chambers and read "Green Eggs and Ham" into the Congressional Record.

He says he "rose...in an opportunity to speak for 26 million Texans and 350 million Americans." Bullshit. He rose to speak for himself and the families of the other Goldman, Sachs executives, and the Bain Capital executives, and the rest of the 1 Percent who are, starting in 2018, going to be pounded with a 40-percent excise tax on the value of their Cadillac Plans - health insurance benefits worth more than $27,500 for a family or $10,200 for an individual, adjustable for age and occupation (Obamacare exempts really-senior citizens and people working in hazardous occupations from this tax because, after all, if you are a hundred years old with diabetes and stage-four cancer, you fix antennas on the roofs of skyscrapers or you're George Zimmerman's marriage counselor, $40,000 a year is what health insurance costs.)
