Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has compared his fight to defund the Affordable Care Act to the fight against Nazi Germany. He sees it as his duty to provide "relief to the millions of people who are hurting because of Obamacare." The uninsured in his own state will tell you a different story.

Hey, Ted Cruz! These Texans Say Obamacare Is Helping Them | Mother Jones

This is EXACTLY what the Tea Party and GOP was afraid of.

In Texas? Really? They were able to get online? Brian Williams on NBC just reported Obamacare is a debacle.

But there's no guarantee that Obamacare will continue to benefit Texans. Perry and other GOPers in the state have done everything they can to block implementation of the law, including refusing to set up state-run health insurance exchanges. For now, Lone Star residents have to sign up for coverage through the federal government's buggy, rickety website.
This is going to go over real well with Texans that need healthcare and cannot get it due to obstruction by government officials on the right. People tend to have short memories, but not when it concerns their health or the health and well being of their loved ones.

Then hopefully they rightfully blame the folks that gave them the "buggy, rickety website." The federal government shouldn't need the states to rescue their program because they did it ineptly.

Nice try but who're you kidding? Healthcare.gov is Obama's "signature accomplishment". It's called Obamacare for a reason, and that's what people will remember.

Texans will also take into account that Texas Repubicans refused to participate in the health care exchanges hence not providing a State Website as other states did...Forcing Texans to go onto the federal HealthCare.gov website.

HealthCare.gov is the sign-up website. The enrollment website. The reason it is called 'obamacare' is because some STILL have not figured out the different provisions and functions of PPACA. Obamacare is still being used as a 'catchall" phrase by the truely uninformed.

Yes, exactly. People will remember who gave them affordable healthcare and they will remember who threatened to take it away. That was my point.

Please. Just stop. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee SELLS stickers, t-shirts, etc that say I LOVE OBAMACARE on them. Is this your way of saying the Democratic Party is uninformed? If so, I agree.
