Correction: I was misinformed by Ted Cruz's own words when I wrote the previous article saying that anyone in Congress, including Ted Cruz, had to use Obamacare unless they are on Medicare or a spouse's plan. That is not true. The truth is simply that, in order to qualify for a federal subsidy, members of congress have to go through the federal Obamacare exchange.
In fact, since Ted's wife will no longer get insurance through her job at Goldman Sachs, she could use the COBRA provision to continue the same policy and pay for it privately. Or the Cruz family could get a new policy by buying it privately, without going through the exchange.
The Cruz claim that he is now forced to take Obamacare for his family is false.
Personally, I'd suggest that Mrs. Cruz hold on to her job at Goldman Sachs. Don't look for Sen. Cruz's campaign to survive much beyond New Hampshire. How many people are going to vote for a melting wax figure?
