THE TEXAS HUCKSTER RANTS AGAIN

I'll have to look up to see if Sen. Ted Cruz is a product of the fabulous Texas school system.
I am wondering about the basic math courses. Speaking on the Senate floor before the big vote tonight he again stated that the two million people that signed his petition were a collective evidence of  " the majority of the people in this country are opposed to Obamacare. " I don't remember all of my grade school math, but I do know that 2 million is not a majority of 313.9 million. Sen. Cruz likes to throw numbers like small grenades, hoping that we don't notice. His favorite lately is that 15,000 UPS employees lost their spousal coverage. He fails to note that UPS informed the employees that if the spouse qualifies for insurance through their own employer that they should avail themselves of said insurance. They were not kicked out of insurance as Sen. Cruz is fond of saying.
The entire process is part of leveling and improving the actuarial outlook under the ACA.

Sen. Cruz is very fond of making things up.
I am not allowed to !
