Ted Cruz, Who Said Uninsured Should Just Get Health Care From ERs, Backs Group That Wants ERs To Turn Away Uninsured People

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Wednesday, 4/9/2014 12:59 pm

When he was running for office two years ago, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas insisted that rather than expanding Medicaid, Texas should just let the uninsured get all their health care from emergency rooms. The argument that emergency rooms are an acceptable backup for the uninsured has also been used by Mitt Romney, Heritage Foundation president Jim DeMint and many other prominent Republicans. But now, some members of the GOP are trying to keep the uninsured from using emergency rooms at all. Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal is pushing Congress to allow hospitals to turn people away from emergency rooms, and Georgia congressman and US Senate candidate Paul Broun – who previously cited ERs to claim that “everyone has access” to health care – has introduced a bill that would allow ERs to treat only patients who they determine have an “emergency medical condition.” Now, the Madison Project, a Tea Party group that has earned the high-profile backing of Sen. Cruz in its effort to defeat three sitting GOP senators in primaries this year, is also advocating for allowing emergency rooms to turn away anybody not deemed to need immediate emergency care.

1. Someone needs to ask these guys directly, where are

the poor suppose to go for treatment if they can't afford health insurance and can't go to the ER?

Are they suppose to just die on the hospital steps?

4. A different strategy

They can't ask that because the answer will be Affordable Health Care. Of course they won't say Obamacare in this answer.

2. So they just want people to die and die quickly like Alan Grayson said was the GOP health plan

Can you imagine the sick people dying in emergency rooms denied care? Dead bodies piling up outside. This is the GOP dream health plan? How can Cruz call himself a Christian? I seem to remember reading in the new testament Jesus saying heal the sick. Cruz is false prophet who really is a Satan worshipper.
