D'oh! Cruz Campaign Concedes He Had Insurance Coverage All Along

[springwater13]

In a reversal from claims made on the campaign trail, Ted Cruz's presidential campaign is now saying the senator and his family do have health insurance and never lost coverage. The late night Friday revelation came more than 24 hours after Cruz had told a New Hampshire audience that he and his family were without health insurance and were scrambling to obtain new coverage--and used the claim to slam Obamacare for the mess he was in.

In statements to Bloomberg and Wall Street Journal, campaign spokeswoman Catherine Frazier blamed Cruz's false assertion that his family had lost their health insurance on a misunderstanding. She said an insurance broker told Cruz that BlueCross BlueShield of Texas was dropping his PPO plan, but Frazier said that the broker did not tell Cruz his family was automatically being transferred to the carrier's HMO plan.

"Based on this information, Sen. Cruz believed the family was uninsured and asked the broker to pull quotes immediately for a new policy," Frazier said.

This isn’t as easy as he thought. I almost feel sorry for him.

Gezzzz

[Organic Panic]

Oops.

How many top secret emails on his bathroom server?

[JoSixChip]

I'm sure it happens all the time that people forget about their health insurance.

Sure, it can happen. It's just like forgetting you're a Canadian citizen.

[Gene Eric]

Cruz was a Senator prior to Obamacare taking effect, right? Isn’t the best health insurance immediately available to all of Congress?

Hard to believe any responsible family would lose track of coverage.

Cruz cannot forget his every word will be scrutinized. Better to invent the anecdote than own it personally.

Since O-Crap-Care has been forced down our throats, I’ve had to scramble each November to find coverage. Crap-care has so far broken 2 insurance contracts.

I despise the bastards responsible for the ACA.

Trump and/or Cruz 2016.

How is it possible a legal scholar has no idea if he has health insurance for him and his family?

This is bad juju.

[Kit cat]

I do feel sorry for him, however this is why Trump is succeeding because he just tells the truth no matter what it is, then he doubles down and stands with his statement, fights back and WINS! people are SICK of the carefully scripted lawyer speak!! People will stand with you if they believe you are genuine even if sometimes it is a genuine ass!!

[JoSixChip]

This is bad juju.

It is getting to the point where it is just comical now.

Did Ted Cruz forget that his wife, Heidi Cruz, worked for the CFR as a Task Force member?

Well he did go to Harvard ya know.

[chris37]

The problem is, at least for me, is that he is starting to look like a person who lies or hides things in order to advance a narrative that advances himself in the eyes of people whose support he wants.

As I think about it, kind of like McConnell does, and Cruz called him a liar as a result.

What are you doing here, Ted? This looks terrible.

[dragnet2]

If this story is legitimate, it will be getting big coverage by sun up.

[RitaOK]

Yes. A deer caught in headlights comes to mind. It is starting to get uncomfortable to see him avoid any personal responsibility for the difference in what he says from what is the truth. Pointing over there all the time doesn’t look good on someone like Ted. That is more Hillary’s style.

He’s got to get a grip, or be thought of as too slick for travel.

[VitacoreVision]

Looks real. Tons of news about it.
