The wife of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) confirmed in an interview with The New York Times what the tea party star's opponents have insinuated gleefully for weeks: The most vocal opponent of Obamacare enjoys a high-priced health plan through investment bank Goldman Sachs.

"Ted is on my health care plan," Heidi Nelson Cruz, who has worked in the firm's management division for eight years, told the paper in a story published Wednesday.

Cruz's plan through Goldman appeared to be an uncomfortable fact for the conservative senator as he lambasted the health care reform law and helped drive what would become a two-week government shutdown. In an exchange during Cruz's 20-hour anti-Obamacare marathon on the Senate floor in September, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) tried unsuccessfully to get Cruz to admit where he gets his own coverage.

So he has an awesome health plan and had no real reason personally to go after Obamacare, but he did it anyways. How is that a bad thing?

Be careful, GS was top SWC Obama donor before he unleashed violent destablization 'civil wars' in various mideast countries not friendly to Israel.

Class warfare... He gets his health insurance from one of the banksters meanwhile he doesn't want you to have subsidized government healthcare. That's the point.

Everyone who works at Goldman Sachs is obviously evil, including the janitor.

Why is it bad that he is on his wife's insurance plan? What is so uncomfortable about that?

 

[ClydeCoulter]

Especially the janitor.

Yep, low level operative.

Why do people insist on linking to HuffPo? They don't have their own reporters - all they do is blog about pieces that they find in other media when it suits their leftist agenda.

He's saving the taxpayers the cost of his insurance by having Goldman Sachs pay for it. But of course liberals care more about where Goldman Sachs spends their money than they do about where Congress spends yours.

That's pretty much every political blog in existence. All they do is quote the mainstream media sources they constantly deride, add their own spin to it, and act like it's real journalism. It's fun to pretend, I guess. When's the last time you saw an exclusive piece of real news from a political blog?

Then they throw a tantrum when people say they're not journalists, even though it's all opinion from them it seems.

I don't have a problem with Sen. Cruz being on a nice health care plan of his spouse's; in fact, I applaud it, on principle.

My problem is that his wife is a managing director at Goldman Sachs, and has been through the .gov revolving door, as far as I can tell. I really don't like Goldman Sachs, and I'm not crazy about the revolving door thing. shrug.

GS is bad man

so is the government, and Ted Cruz works for the government, ergo..........

What if I told you Goldman Sachs spends their money buying out your Congress. Would you care then? What if I told you Goldman Sachs was on the brink of bankruptcy then was bailed out by the same Congress they bought out. Would you care then? This is the same company that has bankrolled not just this current administration but the past few administrations. This is the same company that has former executives in very high levels of our government. And you folks here act like this is nothing?
