Cruz and Sanders Debate ObamaCare Repeal on CNN

The Vermont lawmaker was questioned by a woman from Texas who owned five hairdressing salons. His basic point was that people should have the right to choose their own healthcare: “I believe that we should have a system that as many people as possible are able to be on the private insurance of their choice… Businesses aren’t responsible? Responsive businesses understand they have a role to play in this”, Levine said.

He thinks other countries have it better than America, ‘ Cruz said. “I want all of us to be in charge of our health care, not government”. (Funny, they don’t say this about the right to bear arms.) And if you have a “right” to receive health care, someone else has an obligation to provide it.

After Sanders’s “mic drop” moment, he folded his hands and slowly walked away.

When Cruz was asked about pre-existing conditions from a member of the audience who said that Obamacare saved her life, he suggested a replacement what would deny insurance companies the ability to kick people off their plan for pre-existing conditions. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) will take on the Affordable Care Act – what it has done for Americans and what it has done to them – in a debate to be broadcast on CNN. And in case she didn’t hear him, he congratulated her again: “Thank you for sharing your story and congratulations on dealing with MS, it’s a bad disease and congratulations on your struggles dealing with it”.

He replied: ‘Congratulations on dealing with MS.

But he noted that more work needs to be done. “I don’t think the federal government ought to be passing a law that doubles insurance company profits, and while those profits were doubling, what happened to the average American family?“. But Sanders took another opportunity when Cruz said that, under the Republican reform, no one would see a “canceled” plan over a preexisting condition. This comes as visions of repeal dance in conservatives’ minds and the media goes apoplectic that “millions” could lose their insurance if Congress dares tinker with Barack Obama’s health care catastrophe. That’s absolutely right. That is absolutely right.

“ObamaCare … was built on an edifice of lies”, Cruz said.

“Government control messed this all up”, he said.

Cruz agreed and said “of course Medicare should negotiate”. “There are good reasons that Republicans, no matter how much they attack Obamacare, have failed to propose even one real alternative throughout the last seven years”, Budowski said. Cruz then recalibrated his answer slightly, but significantly. The executive order swept up people from banned countries who had made previous arrangements with healthcare providers in the United States for specific services, arrangements that aren’t as easy to make, and may not always be possible, in other countries.
