“So consistently disregarding the Constitution … the law.” Sen. Cruz fights an up hill battle against Democrats and scared GOP even though both parties have said what a disaster this bill is.
Many still refuse to admit that improving healthcare was never the goal of Obama and his radical leftists who wrote the bill. This is simply socialized medicine that Reagan warned us about.
