Absolutely! He understands the REAL reason he was sent to DC!

Senator Ted Cruz is still fighting. He has a spine and is showing that you should never give up.
I agree.
I admire Ted Cruz and I don’t even 100% support him on this, because we need to construct our own opposing plan before we really have an opposition.
But the guy can fight.
I am sure glad he’s on our side. Go Cruz!
I’m not of the mind that it really helps settle anything with the health care law. However, it does put a dozen Republican senators in an odd position. They have shown themselves more as wannabe political figures...not leaders. Maybe Cruz’s intention was simply that, and nothing more. I’d have no problem with McConnell and McCain leaving...even if it were Democrats replacing them.

If this “fundamental changing” of America called ObamaCare does go thru, we will look back and say Ted Cruz fought the good fight.
He is up against a century of socialism that has infiltrated our schools, our churches, our children, our very souls.
Not 1 in 5 Americans can see this. Too many of our fellow Americans are sleepwalking.
And the senior socialist crony politicians don’t like him because he stands in their way of setting up their UN NWO society which I’m willing to bet they’ve been paid handsomely for in one way to stand back and let it happen. The Founding Fathers would have already stormed the WH and started hanging half of their Congress for being traitors and removed the enemy spies in office appointed by the president.

It is illegal to attach your health care insurance to your occupational compensation. Everybody would have to buy it like most people buy car insurance.
When the person paying for a product is also the person using it, the price is automatically kept in check in a “supply and demand” sort of way.
Tort reform wouldn’t hurt either.
Cruz, Lee to a certain extent, Paul come closer to being statesmen. Most of the others on Capitol Hill are just politicians.
Getting the govt out of the middle of all healthcare would force a new fiscal reality on the industry. Suddenly prices would drop and service would increase...because the market would demand it. Right now there is zero incentive for cost control or improved service.
When was the last time we saw a poltician take a principled stand for something he knew was right? Cruz isn’t going to win this one. I think he’s known that for some time. But instead of going along to get along he is not compromising his core beliefs in the slightest. He is going to go down fighting regardless of who it pisses off because he firmly believes it’s in the best interests of the country to oppose Obamacare. How many Congresscritters will place country over career in that fashion? Damned few.

I have an acquaintance who invents medical devices. There is nothing really breakthrough about them, but because they are medical devices he can charge ridiculous money for them and do quite well for himself even though he has a very limited customer base. He lives in an awesome house in Carlsbad, Ca.
It’s cool that he did that, but it really should not pay that well. It’s because of all the regulations that apply to the equipment that what should sell for $1,000 actually sells for $30,000 - $300,000, depending on the customer and how tightly they have to manage their budget.
We DON’T need a plan. Federal involvment in health care is unconsititutional. Only a liberal that trashes the Constitution wants the federal government involved in health care.
Sounds like income envy to me.
That's a foolish idea. My company covers something like 75% of my healthcare costs. Detach it from my compensation and suddenly my monthly bill balloons to upwards of $1500. Nobody would by it because nobody could afford it.
Sounds to me, like what is needed is far more competition.
Just saying.
While I agree 100% with the opposition Cruz has to government controlling medicine, there is equally a segment of America which controls medicine to keep it costly.
To the extent that is us, I likewise oppose that monopoly.
American medicine needs to be completely overhauled.
