Why do you suppose he has not offered a simple “Repeal Obamacare” bill? No, it wouldn’t get far, but it would be the bill to expose everyone.
I can only speculate. Do you suppose Cruz is made as simple calculation based on inquiries with colleagues that they would not support nor would they appreciate such a bill? They calculate that there are enough people getting subsidies under Obama care that the game has changed and repeal is not so popular.
It could be just that Cruz figures that this game has been tried once and a second failure will only label him as an ineffectual maverick senator when he needs to campaign as an effective leader who can get things done.
The real answer is, I just don't know.
