I heard him say the exact thing at a NH speech on C-Span. But it wasn’t as you describe it here.
He said the poorest people are being harmed the most by OBAMACARE. He named those groups you mentioned as being harmed the most because they tend to struggle, economically. At no time did he even imply, much less say, that the GOP has an alternative plan for these specific groups a la pandering to those groups. He talked about what HE believes should happen regarding healthcare. Widespread competition among insurers, portability of plans from job to job, medical savings accounts that kind of thing.
His entire point is to stop Obamacare.
He didn’t make a case for stopping it??
UH, that’s not the problem, the American people are mostly desperate to stop it, it’s the elite class that won’t lift a finger to deFUND it. Cruz said the grassroots must rise up if there’s any chance at all to stop it.
Why are these things the responsibility of the government? Do you think they should be? I do not.

His case is that it hurts minorities, and the poor. That is a very lame case that befits liberals and social activists (ie, leftists). He did not make the case -- hardly anyone does, these days -- that it is inherently unfair to everyone, that it's socialized medicine. He didn't give reasons why it doesn't work and isn't right -- for anyone. He just whipped out the poverty card, the minority cards, the downtrodden oppressed cards. If that's not pandering I don't know what is.
As I said, he's among the best we've got, but he'll get nowhere by accepting their premises and speaking their code talk.
