Despite being vehemently opposed to Obamacare, Ted Cruz is signing up for insurance under President Obama’s health care law.
The Texas Republican Senator and newly-announced presidential candidate, known for his staunch opposition to the Affordable Care Act, told CNN on Tuesday that he will be joining the millions of Americans enrolled in insurance under the law.

He is said to be a very good lawyer-which means there is a method to his madness...
Got to grant this to Cruz, he is not being a hypocrite, at least not in this sense.
On the other hand, the law does LET him be exempted, so there has to be some other point.
POW! Indeed.
Watch and see if Cruz doesn’t release a cost analysis and breakdown of how much Obamacare is costing his family.
$2500 savings? HAH!
Nice move.
The leftists are constantly screaming about him being born in Canada. I think what Cruz needs to do is shut them up and hold a press conference explaining why he is eligible otherwise they are never ever ever going to stop with this.
He’s going to chronicle his experience with it and right around when SCOTUS rules he will have quite the tale AND he has already written a bill for the fallout when SCOTUS does find for King, which apparently he thinks they will, which is great news in itself.
Kidney punch!
Imagine that....instead of doing what the left usually does, and disobey whatever laws they don’t like, Cruz is actually following the law, even though he despises it and still will work tirelessly, I’m sure, to repeal it.
I like it and I love his honesty.
:) I’m wondering if this is some sort of test of the Obamacare Snooping System. Maybe Mr. Cruz wants to see if 1) they check to see if he indeed applied 2)Ted just wants to show all the holes in the Obamacare website 3) MSM comes up with all sorts of falsehoods.
Good, then he can tell us first hand how Craptacular it is!
He’s made the tar baby that the left must punch, that much stickier by the move, even though economically it’s just about moot for him (he will never use the Obamacare, he will keep on paying his private doctors).
Sadly I believe his personal info will be leaked to the public. Maybe then he’ll have standing to sue?
That's the best part. Ted just took over Obamavare base and it belongs to him.
Oh, yes they are.
He could point out how much dough that folks like him will pour into a system they will never use.
And then he can point out how many gummit drones are skimming off the top of this, lessening the actual benefit to the poor.
Oh, I think he WANTS info to leak out. He wants to show Obamacare to be the info sieve that it is. I am, of course, speculating.
Probably not. And he’ll probably note and comment about every painful step plus his taxes next time around.
Please....that’s what the left wants him to do, is give face time to such BS nonsense. First off, Cruz has already discussed this with every interview he’s given since he announced. 2nd, Cruz has more important things to do, than discuss leftist drivel or put the lefties at ease. And 3, it won’t matter if he did that anyway, do you honestly think the left cares about the truth?
That’s an illegal punch. A foul. Right Cross, Right Jab. Left Hook. Uppercut( for in close) Set ‘em up with a right jab followed by a right cross(or two) and then let ‘em have a Left Hook!
