From his Senate website....
The Obamacare Repeal Act fully repeals Obamacare effective 180 days after its enactment, and provides Congress and the states the intervening six months to develop and vote on patient-oriented health care reform that will incrementally unravel Obamacare’s structural damage to our health care system and economy.
Congress must demonstrate its commitment to reducing healthcare costs and empowering American families with better innovations that save and improve lives. To begin accomplishing this goal, Sen. Cruz plans to introduce additional pieces of legislation, starting with measures to allow American families to shop around the country for insurance and to reform the Food and Drug Administration to more efficiently deliver greater life-saving medical therapies for all Americans.

I havent seen this much common sense emerging form Washington in Many Many Moons
THIS is unexpectedly impressive to say the least!
OK, except that here is the text of the legislation and I don't see the "180 days after enactment" part. It just says that the bills are repealed and everything goes back to as if the bill was never passed. So what happens to all those people who lost their coverage and got forced onto Obamacare? They lose their coverage the day after the bill goes into effect. They can't go back to what they had because those policies don't exist anymore.
I love Ted Cruz and I hope to be voting for him a year from November. But the time has come to stop the lose rhetoric and start proposing real solutions.
