Ted Cruz Destroys Paul Ryan's Ridiculous "Solution" to Obamacare
Not to point any fingers, but right now certain Republicans that shall remain unnamed are proposing certain healthcare "solutions" no one wants. Kidding about the finger pointing part, of course. It's Paul Ryan that nobody seems charmed by at the moment. Least of all Ted Cruz, who pulls zero punches when it comes to picking apart crappy healthcare (see Ted Cruz LOWERS THE BOOM, Commands Congress to Repeal Obamacare and WATCH: Ted Cruz Talks Pulverizing Bernie Sanders at Obamacare Debate). So when #Ryancare proposed a "three bucket" solution to repeal Obamacare? Yeah, he's not a fan...
CRUZ: The so-called "three bucket solution," [where] all the good stuff is in bucket three? Bucket three takes eight Democrats... Right now, senate Democrats are opposing everything. You cant get eight senate Democrats to agree on saying good morning. I've called bucket three the "sucker's bucket." We need to take everything in bucket three and put it in bucket one. We've gotta actually fix this problem.
Long story short...
The worst part of all this? Paul Ryan has managed to make leftist critics, who are opposed to repealing Obamacare, look good. The left claimed the House only humored bills they knew wouldn't get passed simply to oppose Obama. The GOP said the repeal bills were legit, we just needed a Republican President. Surprise! Now we have a Republican President and... we're taking steps backwards.
Paul Ryan is a lesson in how to destroy a political career in the eyes of the people, while maintaining favor with the "political establishment" for lack of a better term. Hence the frustration. People want lower premiums and better options. You know, not Obamacare a government-mandated heap of garbage. You'd think it simple, yet here we are...
