This could get awkward. Since wrapping up his tenure as Florida governor seven years ago, Jeb Bush has been quietly building a fortune for himself, raking in millions of dollars from consulting gigs, real estate investments, and that staple for out-of-office politicians, speeches.
Yet Bush has also netted more than $2 million from his work as a board member with Tenet Health Care, according to The New York Times' Michael Barbaro. That tie could prove troublesome for Bush if he runs for president in 2016 because Tenet, Barbaro writes, "aggressively encouraged Americans to sign up for insurance under the [Affordable Care Act] and trumpeted the legislation as a boon to the company’s finances."
though Bush is no fan of the law — he once called it "flawed to its core" — his association with a group that effusively endorsed it could be a stain on his resume. ObamaCare is such an anathema to conservatives and the Tea Party that there are efforts afoot to oust members of the party leadership who refused to play along with the government shutdown last year in an ill-fated attempt to defund the law.
if nothing else this shows how rabid they are in their endeavor to keep you from workable and better health care, i wonder what else is juicing them up insurance co.'s seem to be going for it not a lot of press about their almost quiet involvement but republicans are still in all out war. they never mention the cost before ACA and not now and the sub par policies that were sold knowing you were to be exempt from the most desperate of care and precondition which now they tout in the voucher plan 2014 we have seen yet.
That anger on the right could subside somewhat come 2016, especially if ObamaCare continues to enroll people in bunches. Still, it's not hard to imagine Bush's GOP opponents, should he run for president, ganging up on him for his association with Tenet, much like Mitt Romney's foes beat up on him for signing off on Massachusetts' health-care overhaul.
overall the party platform does not include the caliber of health care ACA requires nor the low cost and subsidies. still amazing how much they want to keep you in a substandard over charged program that those who would profit are emanating cricket sounds.
