Related: About this forumChuck Todd comes clean on Obamacare and exposes failed Republican governance (VIDEO)
Chuck Todd and Meet The Press finally came clean on Obamacare albeit less stinging to Republican failures as it should have been. He started the piece noting that the Supreme Court case, King v. Burwell, could severely damage the law.
Last week I wrote the piece Stop rewarding Obamacare political malpractice by ensuring this truth is widely disseminated where I said the following.
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) was in Washington recently. Virtually every potential candidate spoke out against Obamacare. Ted Cruz called it a train wreck. Maybe he was thinking about the healthcare train wreck in Texas. After-all, by refusing to take back $100 billion dollars in Texas taxpayer dollars from the federal government in the form of the Medicaid Expansion to the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), over one million Texans remain uninsured. This political malpractice will kill millions of Texans.
The traditional mainstream media simply reported Ted Cruzs statement. No context was provided. He said this in the same week Gallup reported that in fact Obamacare is not a train wreck but a policy that is actually reducing the uninsured rate.

Now Todie, Why dont you use all the power you can muster and try to explain just how fucked up the
law suit is.. Might be a little helpful.. Or will it take you another year and a half to figure this part of it out..

disaster?" Will he continue to cut slack for repukes on their health care 'policy'"?
How are these guys on MSNBC gonna cover their asses on this issue?
