I don’t know what his reasons are. I tend to not think this is an issue because it is similar to what we would have to do if my husband lost his employee coverage. We are both in our 60’s and have a few serious health issues so going without coverage is not an option.
Cruz is a very smart man. I can’t imagine that he didn’t know that doing this wasn’t going to raise eyebrows. So my gut feeling is that maybe there is a method to this madness. I don’t believe flouting the law is an option for a man running for POTUS.
In the meantime it is not a worry to me as he has made his position on the ACA very plain and he apparently believes that what is good for the little people should be good enough for a US Senator as well.
Ted Cruz signed up for Obamacare… we hope he doesn’t get sick. We know “progressives” despise any and who disagree with their narrative and insults are their standard practice. This administration has used government power as a weapon against political opponents. Lois Lerner and IRS a glaring example. Americans must “surrender” to the almighty state or face persecution? I fear that these not just un- (but anti)-Constitutional quasi-Gestapo type actions will also be part of Obamacare, where those who dissent will have medical care delayed and even denied till they get with the “program” and kneel to the power of the centralized all powerful state. Yet DemWits still follow the Serpent promises with smiles of their faces... till they too late realize it ain’t utopia it’s HELL!
I agree with you. Political miscalculations don’t mean a whole lot to me as it is an impossible mine field.
I just see it as a practical decision with political impact. Again, I don’t think thee is any real hidden agenda he has but I still think this is a non-issue.
