KINGWOOD, Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has come home to Texas to promote his long-shot bid to defund "Obamacare," warning Tea Party activists Monday that they have only a few months to stop the health care reform law before people get addicted to it.
Cruz, who has thrilled his conservative base with his promise to shake up business as usual in Washington, says that once the insurance subsidies kick in at the beginning of 2014, it will be too late to undo the Affordable Care Act.
He said that is precisely President Obamas goal.

Cruz wants his fellow GOP senators to oppose continued funding for much of the government even if it causes a partial shutdown unless funding for the health care law is stripped out of the federal budget.

The rationing due to funding shortages will make the assembly line healthcare experience so unpleasant, intrusive and humiliating to consumers that they will avoid seeking medical assistance.
