Ted Cruz to file for food stamps?

[Ravi]

Now that his wife lost her job and he's been forced to apply for Obamacare (maybe he'll qualify for Medicaid?), will he also apply for food stamps?

Yep, paid for by US taxpayers.

Cruz, whose Senate filibuster against the law he derides as "Obamacare" led to a partial government shutdown in 2013, is looking for health insurance because his wife, Heidi Cruz, took an unpaid leave from her job in the Houston office of Goldman Sachs as Cruz announced his presidential bid.


That meant the family would soon lose access to health insurance through Mrs. Cruz's job, triggering a need for the Cruz family to find a new policy.


The first-term senator from Texas said he is looking at options available on a health insurance exchange, or a clearinghouse of policies available to Americans who don't receive coverage through their employers. Obama's health care law created the exchange system.


Under an amendment to the law crafted by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the government can only offer members of Congress and their staff health care insurance that's sold through an exchange.


"We will presumably go on the exchange and sign up for health care, and we're in the process of transitioning over to do that," Cruz said in an interview with The Des Moines Register.

She did not lose her job, she took an unpaid leave of absence.
He chose to go on Obamacare because he said and has been very consistent with, all of congress should go on it.

Congress gets their health care subsidized unlike the vast majority of Americans.

if they run out of dinero, do you think they'll end up on food stamps..?



"Cruz could go without insurance, or his family could get its coverage directly from an insurance company at what would likely be a far higher rate than is available via an exchange. Doing so would mean Cruz would not get the contribution from his employer to help offset the full cost of his coverage."

Yes, everyone should have the same subsidies that Congress enjoys, so it is a bad law.

But what I think doesn't matter. What Ted Cruz thinks and doesn't do makes him a hypocrite.

How dare he obey the law. He should have defied the law so democrats could call him a criminal.

No it isn't. It would be hypocrisy if there weren't a law with enumerated punishment. Cruz isn't taking advantage of anything. He's simply avoiding a fine by obeying the law.

Ted Cruz going on ObamaCare = Major Scandal

Hillary Clinton accepting millions of dollars in foreign donations = No Big Deal
