CNN has been caught handing a out question to a member of the audience instructing her what to ask Ted Cruz during Tuesday nights debate with Bernie Sanders about the future of Obamacare.
The Question that was read by Carol Hardaway:
"I have multiple sclerosis but could not afford insurance – without the treatment or medications i need, i had problems with walking, with my speech, and my vision. When the affordable care act was passed I moved from our home state of Texas because they refused to expand Medicaid to Maryland and within 2 weeks I started receiving treatments through Medicaid and am now well enough to work as a substitute teacher.
Senator Cruz, can you promise me that you and the Republican leaders in congress will have – actually have a replacement plan in place for people like me who depend on their Medicaid? In other words, I like my coverage, can I keep it?"
Below is a close up of the question that was asked to Senator Ted Cruz. The email is from a Gmal account as you can see from the top of the paper. The subject line reads “Your Question,” as the two photographs below show.

I just watched it on youtube.

Actually it was quite good. Much better than any presidential debates. Both Ted and Bernie did a good job representing their side, and the format of letting them go back and forth worked very well.
CNN up to fixed debates and no good.
Par for the course.
CNN = DNC = FAKE NEWS
If CNN did more stuff that worked this well for Republicans they’d have a better reputation.
Agree completely. That was an absolute massacre; I haven't seen such a bloodbath since Jack Kemp destroyed Patricia Schroeder back in the 80s. Absolutely delicious.
Infotainment at it’s best. It’s a big friggin show. It’s not news anymore. Fox is just as guilty. It’s all about controversy and ratings.
I guess the main reason is that as a result of the help she received, she is now back working for a living. Also do you live in a state like Texas where they did not take part in the program. Or one like Maryland that did and where she got the help to get well enough to work again?
Rigged, the defining word of the democrat machine.
. . . and it failed to make sense all three times.
Now I need to find a link to it somewhere on YouTube...
Like him or not, if he helps the cause I’ll take it.
My money is with CNN ‘assisting’ her with the phrasing of the question. It would be way too easy to prove that she’s a fake regarding her health, so I doubt even CNN would go there...she likely has the list of conditions (typical for an overweight type) that she mentioned.
So what did she do to treat her MS before Obamacare?
Bernie was asked hard questions, too, even by the debate moderators.
Cruz did win handily. Sanders’ answer to nearly everything was single-payer, single-payer, single payer.
I saw about 10 minutes of it. I was quite surprised to see a lady from Texas allowed to ask Bern questions about Obamacare screwing her family’s coverage and her business. Crazy Bernie gave his usual lame assed socialist lines. Cruz was great. I had to turn it off, 5 minutes of Bernie is all I can stomach.
More and more Americans are asking that question...how about someone asking THAT during one of these town hall meetings?
Lol!!
And Cruz still mopped the floor with him - when it comes to fact-based debates, he’s awesome.
It is BS. She did not have to move to get care. https://www.healthcare.gov/medicaid-chip/medicaid-expansion-and-you/
Where does the email say that it came from CNN? Without evidence that CNN is the source, this news is as fake as the CNN news that is fake.
When I bought health insurance for my son, it was $133 per month. That was a little high, and I was not expecting to use it except for unforeseen emergencies.
Now, in the age of Obamacare, that same insurance is almost $500 per month. It still is only good for unforeseen emergencies; it has *never* paid a single medical cost for my son. It is clear that I am subsidizing medical care for other people, without having any benefit whatsover for my son, whom it ostensibly covers.
I think that just putting the $500 per month into a bank account would be better insurance against an unexpected medical bill.
Never worked a day in his life.
