Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) launched a 21 hour pseudofilibuster on a bill with a provision which he voted for to defund the Affordable Care Act which Jon Stewart beautifully lampoons above. He claimed that the act would increase premiums for everyone and for small businesses while denying care. The White House came out with data projecting what premiums will be for each state including Pennsylvania which looks cheaper that what I'm paying now. The full report can be read here. The proof will be in the pudding when the exchanges start operating Oct. 1 on the cost and adequacy of care. Ted Cruz's state has 25.7% uninsured.
As an aside, Healthcare for All PA has been featured in The Huffington Post in an article by Linda Bergthold. The Economic Impact Study, The Healthy Artists Project, and The State Single Payer bills are discussed.
