I am not sure where Cruz actually fits on this anymore.
Being a strict Constitutionalist, he knows that healthcare isn’t in the Federal domain, that it is ILLEGAL for the feds to have authority.
The point is to get rid of the Federal health care tax, as it exists right now. And put in place a framework that does not require a big federal agency. Anyway most the Federal government is extra Constitutional, commerce clause and all that.
He’s been standing with Paul and Lee for full repeal.
