Texas has 6 million uninsured by the way.

Does not make sense. Anyway maybe Cruz will take all the credit once Texas finally accepts Obamacare in a few years. It is inevitable. Denying the access to affordable health care is not going to go down too well there.

If only they would just stop lying about it.

* Health insurer refunds drop by half in 2012 vs 2011

* Government says insurers are reining in premiums

* Each family to receive average of $100 back

June 20 (Reuters) - U.S. insurers will pay $500 million in rebates to employers and individuals this summer because of President Barack Obama's healthcare law, about half the amount they paid last year.

The law, often called Obamacare, requires companies to refund customers when they spend less than 80 percent of premiums they collect on medical care.

The Department of Health and Human Services attributed the decline in rebates to insurers' adhering more closely to this requirement and to lowering premium rates for their products.

The government agency said on Thursday that 8.5 million insurance customers would receive an average rebate of about $100 per family after August 1. For 2011, 4.1 million people received about $152 per family, or a total of $1.1 billion.

Senator John Barrasso said in the weekly Republican address released on Saturday that the Affordable Care Act is hurting middle-class Americans.

"Many families are going to have real sticker shock when they see their new insurance rates - even families who get government subsidies," Barrasso, an orthopedic surgeon, said.
