Papantonio: The Assault on Affordable Healthcare

[GoLeft TV]

This interview originally aired on the August 11th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. The Tea Party has been trying to dismantle healthcare reform for almost four years, completely ignoring the fact that our healthcare system is completely broken. And their attacks are becoming more and more intense. Ring of Fire host Mike Papantonio speaks with author and journalist Paul Waldman about those attacks.

1. Texas Senator John Cornyn is up for reelection Nov 2014. That is 10 months in to the

goodness of the ACA while he is going to stand on the Republican/TEA platform against affordable health care in a state with the highest number percentage of uninsured people. And Texas refuses to cooperate with implementation of the ACA and refused the Medicaid Expansion. He has to be thinking that his campaigning is going to bring attention to the needed Bluing for the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, especially if he is reelected.

Cornyn and Cruz are at odds over the ACA.

2. Excellent interview

I believe bad news certainly travels fast, but so can good news. Person by person, family by family, town by town, state by state, the (not enough, but better than before) benefits of the ACA will spread. It will be in demand because we are human and subject to medical treatment sooner or later.
