CRUZ NUKES MEDIA AT DEBATE... https://t.co/ZkNjDSkNsy
— DRUDGE REPORT (@DRUDGE_REPORT) October 29, 2015"Let me say something at the outset," the Senator from Texas said. "The questions asked in this debate illustrate why the American people don't trust the media."
"This is not a cage match. And you look at the questions -- Donald Trump, are you a comic book villain? Ben Carson, can you do math? John Kasich, will you insult two people over here? Marco Rubio, why don't you resign? Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen? How about talking about the substantive issues," Cruz said to commanding applause from the audience.
"Do we get credit for this one," Quintanilla asked Cruz?
"And Carl, I'm not finished yet. The contrast with the Democratic debate, where every thought and question from the media was, which of you is more handsome and why?" Cruz asked and then paused to cough.
"You have 30 seconds left to answer should you choose to do so," Quintanilla told the candidate.
"Let me be clear," Cruz said. "The men and women on this stage have more ideas, more experience, more common sense, than ever participant in the Democratic debate. That debate reflected a debate between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks."
"Nobody believes that the moderators have any intention of voting in a Republican primary," Cruz said.

— Kris Held,MD (@kksheld) October 28, 2015It seems Mr. Farmer may have stumbled upon a solid new slogan for the entire law. The New York Times analyzes the "cascading failures" of Obamacare co-ops across the country:
The grim announcements keep coming, picking up pace in recent weeks. About a third, or eight, alternative health insurers created under President Obama’s health care law to spur competition that might have made coverage less expensive for consumers are shutting down. The three largest are among that number. Only 14 of the so-called cooperatives are still standing, some precariously. The toll of failed co-op insurers, which were intended to challenge dominant companies that wield considerable power to dictate prices, has left about 500,000 customers scrambling to find health insurance for next year...At a time when the industry is experiencing a wave of consolidation, with giants like Anthem and Aetna planning to buy their smaller rivals, the vanishing co-ops will leave some consumers with fewer choices — and potentially higher prices...The shuttering of these start-ups amounts to what could be a loss of nearly $1 billion in federal loans provided to help them get started. And the cascading series of failures has also led to skepticism about the Obama administration’s commitment to this venture. Some policy analysts say they were doomed from the beginning.Doomed from the beginning. So why flush a billion taxpayer dollars setting them up? Intraparty Democratic politics, the Times reports: "Created as a concession to Democrats who wanted the health care law to include a government-run plan as an alternative to private insurers, the co-ops faced significant hurdles from the start." Liberal Democrats demanded a "public option" within Obamacare, which critics (and supporters) rightly predicted would directly facilitate the demise of America's private health insurance industry. With so many elected Democrats still peddling the "keep your plan" fiction at the time, Obamacare's government option provision was deemed politically unviable and abandoned. The co-ops were an expensive consolation prize to its supporters. Ironically, now that this experiment is collapsing, even more Americans are being betrayed by the false assurance that they'd be able to maintain their preferred plans. Democrats, predictably, are blaming Republicans for the shortcomings of a fatally flawed law that was crafted and passed exclusively by Democrats....
Obamacare supporters pledged that the "Affordable" Care Act would drastically reduce healthcare costs for all Americans. But hey, at least consumers will be treated to an "upgraded government website," two full years after Healthcare.gov crashed and burned on the launchpad.

— Doug Powers (@ThePowersThatBe) October 27, 2015Here are two things that really hit home when it comes to the lengths the media’s going to help carry Hillary through the Benghazi/email/Clinton Foundation slush fund maze and all the way to the White House without falling off her palanquin.
First watch this heartbreaking clip of Sean Smith’s mother Patricia speaking with NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell:
Now watch how concerned the media (including Andrea Mitchell) are about helping families of those killed in Benghazi get the answers they deserve:

Obamacare 2016: ‘Savings’ hype masks higher deductibles, fines https://t.co/6sE8BL25TM
— WhiteHousePressCorps (@whpresscorps) October 27, 2015The White House political hype machine kicked into high gear this week as 2016’s ACA (Obamacare) plans, prices and fine print for the 38 states now in the federal exchange became available for current and potential enrollees.
The administration is again hawking its costly income redistribution and health rationing plan as the greatest thing to happen to America since sliced bread, but the average American lucky enough to have a decent job already knows better. Cheaper prices for some policies are indeed showing up here and there.
But those subsidized prices are largely courtesy of America’s dwindling middle-class, the taxpayers who are footing much of this federal giveaway, along with the 30 percent of Medicare recipients who’ll be hit with as much as a 52 percent premium increase next year....
Not only will many working Americans find that their premiums are increasing significantly, they’ll also discover that funny little Obamacare feature that Democrats and the media absolutely don’t want to talk about: skyrocketing deductibles. It’s that little catch that will get you if you or your family happen to run into a medical condition that requires something more than routine care.
Until you meet your annual individual and/or family deductible, you’ll be eviscerating your savings accounts (for those who have them) to pick up the difference, and that can be a painful proposition indeed.
As a result, many Obamacare enrollees are being forced, in effect, to ration their own healthcare to avoid getting gouged by those unpublicized and very high deductibles....
