Obamacare is falling apart and in the process "millions" of Americans are hurting from the loss of health insurance, Sen. Ted Cruz charged Wednesday.
"At this point, it's clear Obamacare isn't working. I think Congress needs to step in. We need to show real leadership and fix the problem that Congress created. We need to stop Obamacare," the Texas Republican said on "Fox & Friends."
In travels across his home state, Cruz said he's found that many people have been "scared" by the loss of their current health insurance due to the new regulations set out under the new healthcare law.
"I don't think it's fixable. The White House is coming in with all of these fixes and little bells and whistles. But, they're not going to work. It's fundamentally flawed," he said.
"Nobody can defend it, because millions of people are losing their jobs, are at part-time work. Their premiums are skyrocketing and getting health insurance canceled. We need to stop it and start over because it didn't work," Cruz added.
Cruz dismissed former President Bill Clinton's admonishment of President Barack Obama to keep his promise that people would be able to keep their present coverage if they like it.
He said Clinton's comments were politically suspect because his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is considered to be the Democratic front runner for president in 2016.
"It suggests, perhaps, that Hillary Clinton is looking to run away from President Obama and run away from Obamacare," Cruz said.
Cruz also said the former president's comments should be taken as a "signal" to Democrats that changes need to be made in the law.

All of those demonkrats that origanally signed this crap should be held accountable and be arrested for violating the constitution. Don’t fix it. Kill it!
Bump!
McLAME WILL GO ALONG WITH A FIX OR REPEAL TO SAVE HIS PARTY MATES FROM BEING VOTED OUT OF OFFICE———HIS FRIENDS ACROSS THE ISLE.
HE WOULD RATHER WORK WITH THEM THAN THE TEA BAGGERS WHO WOULD SURELY REPLACE THEM IN 2014!
OSH!T should go viral. Send it to El Rushbo and Marcus Levinicus Magnus.
It was a great contrast on The Kelly Files last night. Right before Cruz came on, Megyn had that screwball Zeke the Freak Emmanuel on. Gawd, what a whackjob. He was just awful and cared for nobody but his ideology. The man is crazy and impossible to have a conversation with.
I swear his mother didn’t drop him on his head after birthing him, she most likely beat him repeatedly about the head to silence him. And he still wouldn’t shut up. He is the only excuse for abortion after birthing that I can think of. LOL
Then Ted comes on and he is is sane and a delight to listen to. Ahhh..it was so much better. LOL
I have a long memory. I recall the brutal arrogance of the democrats (especially Pelosi) as they rolled over republican attempts to participate in drafting and shaping the ACA. I remember how the democrats locked the republicans out of meeting after meeting.
The democrats got the law they wanted and they passed it without republican support (to put it nicely).
OK. The ACA is democrat law. They have to fix it. They have to make it work. If they can do neither, they must apologize for the treatment and disrespect they gave the republicans. Without that, they have to stew in their own poison and face the voters alone.
There isn’t much time to act. By Jan. 1 those with individual policies will automatically be enrolled in the Democare policy most like their own current policy.
Of course, it will cost more and cover less, but they’ll be “enrolled”.
I’m certainly no fan of John McCain
Then she needs to explain in detail how HillaryCare would have been soooooo much better than ObamaCare.
You cannot fix stupid.
You cannot repair incompetence.
Think about the genius of Cruz’s statement that Hillary is running away from 0bummer and therefore 0bummercare...that protects us in a way and makes it hard for her to say otherwise. Genius.
I love that graphic.
Repeal ObamaCare. No other alternative is acceptable.
