MSNBC’s Ali Velshi Backs Off After Calling Cruz Health Care Plan ‘Garbage’

MSNBC Host Backs Off After Calling Cruz Health Care Plan ‘Garbage’ (The Washington Free Beacon)

MSNBC host Ali Velshi blasted Sen. Ted Cruz's (R., Texas) health care plan as "garbage," only to back off when corrected by an MSNBC health care expert.

On Monday, Velshi and his panel were discussing President Donald Trump's claim that the Republican health care bill, which would repeal and replace Obamacare, will lower health insurance premiums. This, Velshi claimed, was unrealistic.

"There's no plan under which you get lower premiums, except for that very strange Ted Cruz plan which basically offers you a low premium in exchange for a box of band-aids and hope nothing bad happens to you," he said.
