Why does Senator Ted Cruz of Texas want to destroy the
Affordable Health Care Act when all indications show that it is working and
lowering the overall costs of medical attention in the United States, while at
the same time making our health care infrastructure available to more and more people?
Why would a man who exposes to be such a fine Christian want
to withhold heath care from children, expectant mothers, the poor the homeless
and those without jobs? Why would he want to allow pre-existing conditions to
disqualify a person from receiving medical insurance?
The reason is that Ted Cruz is all about politics. He doesn’t
care for anyone else but Ted Cruz. He is
the perfect window dressing for the Tea Party movement. Me, me, mine, mine. Leave mine alone.
Ted Cruz is trying to make a national name for himself.
Instead, he is making a mockery of the Texas electorate who sent him to
Washington in the first place. In a
recent poll Americans were asked (without the name Obamacare being associated
with it) if they supported health insurance for all people and universal
coverage. Over 80% (that’s 8 in 10 for
those of you who went to DISD) favored that statement. When told that was Obamacare the number
dropped below 70%, but was still a majority of the polled.
Obama has been a divisive President thanks to the Republican
PR machine. But one thing is for sure,
his Affordable Health Care Act makes sense for our country. If you hear a politician
in Washington speak out against it, ask them how they like their own insurance. Theirs is almost exactly the model for
Obamacare.
Canadian-born Ted Cruz is a hypocrite. And not just on this
subject, but on many things he stands for…or against. It is time this big mouth
be sent home.
