ooo I love the CRUZ CONTROL PLAN =)
Yep, and Cruz needs to roll out his plan standing with the heads of major health insurance co’s like Blue Cross, etc and offer private plans IMMEDIATELY following the repeal of Obamacare. IT is GALLING that this congress has allowed this President to call the shots instead of calling him out and impeaching him for the blatant violation of his authority time and time again for the past 5 years. I am not hopeful that the REPUBLICAN PARTY can actually provide a comprehensive and savvy game plan to take hold of our country. SO many of THEM need the boot STARTING WITH the SENATE GOOD OL BOYS MOCONNELL AND MCCAIN...I’m flat out praying for strokes or old age to help exit them-God alone seems the only HIGHER POWER enough to clean the senate of the scum residing there!
An adult trying to reason with children.
This thing is moving fast.
With the Upton and Landrieu bills (both just doubling down on government meddling) already poised for a vote, Cruz and the conservatives better act more quickly than "in the coming weeks".
Amazing how many masks have been lifted by this man.
One thing, among many, I respect and appreciate about Ted Cruz...
He relishes the fight, but does it in the high-road path of the gentleman he is. He never attacks his opponents personally.
You can’t fix a train wreck by just putting the cars back on damaged track. The track must be fixed FIRST.
This should be interesting.
If he can devise a clear and understandable plan to undo the Obamacare mess, provide a reasonable alternative and find a way to insure the uninsured (without breaking the system), he has a huge leg up on any other potential nominee for 2016.
The RINOs and, even true conservatives, yell and scream, but have no plan. The guy with the plan will dominate. Of course, it takes courage; any plan will be met with specific challenges as to why it won’t work - he has one shot to get it right.
If anyone can do it, Cruz can.
Abolish, but DO NOT REPLACE Obamacare!
To replace, fix, or otherwise modify the Obama Socialized Health Insurance Tax, is to convince us Conservative voters that you sorry Senate Republican politicians have learned NOTHING from the disaster of the US Federal Government trying to Nationalize an industry.
The line in the sand has been drawn, Senators Cruz and Lee, step across it and you two will be just like all of the other sorry cave-in RINOs: nothing other than Democrat’s Republicans.
Allowing insurance to be sold across State lines and Tort reform will solve a vast majority of the healthcare problems in the US.
These reforms are not new. Conservatives have been advocating them for years, but the liberals have blocked all efforts.
Maybe the ObamaCare failure is the “perfect storm” needed to get these reforms pushed through into law.
The easy solution - Health savings accounts
Structure them to be portable between jobs, allow businesses to fully deduct the cost of administration, allow businesses to deduct the cost of any contributions to the plan. And to encourage businesses to hire full time by the following:
- allow an extra 2% deduction of the employee’s salary for salary positions that are 40+ hrs per week
- if the business contributes $100 or more each month, then allow the business an extra deduction of 2% of the employee’s salary
- allow the HSA accounts to be used to pay premiums, prescriptions, deductibles, etc.
- allow funds to be invested into investment options that can be liquidated to cash in 15 days
- set up a national opt-in insurance exchange where different types of standardized plans are offered.
Smart man to say the least but until Reid & narcissistic sociopath in the white house are gone, nothing will change.
Shove your replacement where the sun doesn’t shine, just repeal it!
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
I wonder if McCain will call him a “Wacko Bird” again?
