Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) is really interested in Sen. Ted Cruz’s insurance plan, even more than Harry Reid was obsessed with looking into Mitt Romney’s tax returns. Near the end of Cruz’s 21-hour filibuster on Wednesday, Durbin actually seemed offended that Cruz had chosen not to partake of the congressional health plan, telling Cruz, “you and I are blessed to have the best health insurance in America as members of the United States Senate.” How dare he not take it!
.@dickdurbin points out that @sentedcruz "Has refused to tell the press where he gets his health insurance" does not take federal plan.

This afternoon, Durbin again tried to pry into the details of Cruz’s own health plan. How do we know he and his wife and young daughters are protected if the United States government isn’t involved?

Years of the media looking the other way explains Durbin’s arrogance. He just asked Cruz to “explain” why has has private insurance.

Yes, Mr. Cruz; show us your insurance papers.

Do you want to give democrats your insurance details so they can use it against you? I don't. @Dickdurbin, #MakeDCListen

Durbin is only doing this because he cares so much.
Perhaps I'm odd, but I don't want Dick Durbin looking after me.
