Red Alert Politics’ Francesca Chambers was on “The Michael Koolidge Show” Thursday to discuss Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s 21-hour marathon speech, the impacts of Obamacare on young Americans and more.
“It’s historic though, so I don’t mind watching, but there is a certain point where your eyelids are just drooping and you wonder ‘How in the world is he still standing up there speaking?’ when I can barely keep my eyes open and I’m laying in my bed,” Chambers told Koolidge in response to what she thought of Cruz’s speech.
The duo then discussed the implications of Obamacare on young Americans, many of whom will have to pay out the nose for the healthcare exchanges when they start up on January 1.
“What I really liked about what Ted Cruz said during his filibuster was ‘Mr. President, I don’t think you could have designed a plan designed to harm young people more than Obamacare’, and that really hit the nail on the head,” she said. “That young people, who are healthy, they might not otherwise need healthcare at this time, and not only that but they’re not working at a job where they’re not working at a job where their employer’s paying for it because they don’t have jobs, or they have part-time jobs with like 20 hours a week over at the local Starbucks or something like that, they’re living with their parents, maybe their parents don’t have healthcare insurance currently because their parents’ healthcare company dropped spousal support and child support, or maybe they’re over 26, who knows?”
“So now, they’re gonna have to spend their hard-earned money – what little of it they have, or don’t have, because they don’t have a job – on this healthcare policy,” she added.
Chambers and Koolidge also talked about gun policies in schools, such as the 13-year-old Virginia boys who were suspended for school for a year for playing with an airsoft gun at one of the boys’ houses.
