How is this not the Fright-Wing™ political equivalent of setting yourself on fire in the middle of the Times Square?

But I do love the tacit admission that Cruz and the Fright Wing™ are 100% full of shit about the dreaded “Obamacare”.

LOL

On the bright side for Ted - even though he has the pre-existing and permanent condition of being a complete asshole, he still gets coverage.

Is this for real? I just read he wanted it completely repealed and was speechifying on that very thing!

So would he buy through an exchange in order to get some federal government (as his employer) reimbursement for part of his premiums? Since they presumably make too much money to qualify for tax credits, there is no benefit from buying insurance via the exchange; off-exchange policies bought via a broker or directly from an insurance company have the same premium costs and features as exchange policies.

Damn you Ted, how can I vote for a guy with no principles? I was sure you were the one guy who would never stoop so low as to buy health insurance on the federal exchange. What’s next, a vacation on Martha’s Vineyard?

So if he’s on the fed exchange in TX that means if the SCOTUS ruling goes bad his premiums will go through the roof.

I don’t like Cruz at all, but it seems like it’s the law for him to purchase healthcare through the exchanges. So exactly what makes this news?

I swear to God, Cruz is going to rip his face off and reveal Andy Kaufman in the most elaborate pop culture joke of all time.
