"Ted Cruz Forgets To Sign Up For Health Insurance, Blames Obamacare"


GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz says his family is no longer covered by health insurance, and he thinks it’s all Obamacare’s fault.

“I’ll tell you, you know who one of those millions of Americans is who’s lost their health care because of Obamacare? That would be me,” Cruz told the audience at a campaign stop New Hampshire on Thursday evening. “I don’t have health care right now.”

But the Affordable Care Act isn’t directly responsible for Cruz’s current situation.

Last year, the Cruz family signed up for health insurance through Obamacare’s state insurance marketplaces. (Thanks to a Republican-sponsored amendment that was introduced to prove a point about Obamacare, federal lawmakers and their staffers are required to enroll in these Obamacare plans if they want to maintain the government contribution to their insurance.)

The July announcement gave people enrolled in BlueCross BlueShield’s plans a full five months to select a new HMO plan if they wanted to maintain coverage into the new year. Ted Cruz’s family apparently just didn’t sign up in time.

Cruz. What a fucking moronic fuckwit. Open season closes on January 31. Sign up, you fucking lazy turd. You shouldn't be subject to the same shit your constituents deal with? Well, fuck you. And besides, you lying pos, your wife probably has first rate fucking coverage from Goldman Sachs. Or, if you get sick, you lying fuck, use some of those millions in campaign loans you probably forgot to pay back.

Are we clear on that? And the fucking lamestream media (couldn't resist) doesn't call him on on this crap.

We're fucking doomed.
