Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Wednesday said that former President Clinton's comments about ObamaCare were an effort to distance his wife from the program ahead of a possible 2016 run.

“That was certainly revealing, and it suggests perhaps that Hillary Clinton is looking to run away from President Obama and run away from ObamaCare," Cruz, who's seen as a potential 2016 candidate, told "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday morning. "And that ought to be a signal to Democrats, this thing isn’t working." Clinton said President Obama should change the law to allow people to keep their existing plans under ObamaCare. He also said Obama should “honor” the commitment made to those who believed they could keep their old plans.

On Wednesday, Cruz blasted the healthcare reform effort as "fundamentally flawed" and said Clinton's comments should be "a real signal that we ought to get some bipartisan cooperation" to scrap the legislation.

"Nobody can defend it because millions of people are losing their jobs, are in part-time work," Cruz said. "Their premiums are skyrocketing, and they're getting their health insurance canceled. We need to just stop it and start over because it isn't working."(continued)

Will such a law prevent employers from dropping plans next year?

Reagan, Palin and Cruz are the only ones to brazenly talk about the 500 pound gorillas that sit in the middle of the room.

I’m sure McCain is wringing his hands over this wacky bird right now.
